This is a very, very funny book. Not only does it have two stories in it - one on one side of the book, then you flip it over and read it the other way around for the second story - but it also contains pirates and a lot of ham.

The pirate captain is called Pirate Captain, and he can never remember the names of his crew, so they have descriptions like “the pirate with the scarf” or “the pirate who flirts a lot”.

Also, the entire pirate crew loves ham. Basically, they eat lots of really big, honey glazed hams a lot, as well as drinking grog. They also pack a supply of limes, so they don’t get scurvy.

It’s kind of a kids book, but basically just humourous—recommended for fun, light reading.
