Once On A Pirate Ship I Saw

By Derik Baltich

While looking through a spyglass, a boy discovers the wacky and funny world of pirates. The comical poetry and illustrations make this book enjoyable to read regularly. Children love the silly twists of the typical concepts associated with pirates, such as "No forks they'll use at dinner time, with a hook for a hand they can eat just fine." Children are also enamored by the vivid illustrations that capture and embody the catchy phrases. For example, to illustrate the dinner with hooks, the pirates are depicted eating with hooks with one pirate having a utility-style hook complete with fork, spoon, screwdriver, scissors, and wood saw. To the side, a dog with an eye patch and bandana is shown poised and ready to pounce on the turkey that is set on the table. You will find that your children will choose this book to read again and again.
