Ahoy, matey! Did you ever wonder what life was like on a pirate ship? Join this pirate crew for a day and see for yourself. Hoist the Jolly Roger as the pirates prepare to attack a merchant ship and you'll earn a share of the loot. Sing a sea chantey as you help wind the capstan. And after you climb down the ratlines from the crow's nest, you can feast on salmagundi. From Spanish galleons to stinkpots, from treasure maps to desert islands, for a pirate it's all in a day's work!
Wake up! 
The sun slowly appears on the distant horizon. A 154-foot pirate ship cuts through the open ocean. The difficult, dangerous tasks of a pirate never begin too early. Let's get to work!
Julie Thompson and Brownie Macintosh have delighted family audiences for almost two decades. They are the authors of A PIRATE'S LIFE FOR ME, as well as THE STREAMLINED DOUBLE DECKER BUS. Julie and Brownie live with their families in New England.
