A cook who leaves the occasional eyeball in the soup and false choppers in a pie...A foul mouthed parrot who is a particularly good shot with parrot poop...Twenty thousand hungry fleas who will happily nibble anything in sight...A first mate with the worst case of sea sickness ever...These are just a few of the characters you will meet in this tale about Cap'n Nutter, his crew, and their encounter on the high seas with the truly horrible pirate Steel Eye Gordon, his band of fifty pirates, oh - and their fifty wives. There's lots to laugh along with in AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!! - PIRATES!!! a fast moving and funny tale that is told in rhyme. It's ideal to read out loud - an all too rare chance to practice talking like a pirate, or like a stuttering swearing parrot, or even to live out the sounds of sea sickness on the high seas!
