The Book

This is a book that just keeps on giving.  It's powered by the reader's imagination and creativity.  It is a story-building book of which I am a huge fan.  The possibilities of a tale based on a Pirate theme awaits instruction and mobilization. 

 The readers simply read the questions and then choose from quirky, silly and sometimes exciting illustrations to build their own personal stories.  Kids will love the challenge and the fun of dreaming about life on the high seas as a pirate and acting out their fantasies.  

Imagine: 

• Visiting a pirate milkshake bar
• Wearing a sparkly eye patch and a beard
• Packing a treasure map
• Voyaging on a ghost ship
• Sailing past an island made of chocolate
• Facing a tentacled sea monster  ... how fun are these? 

The coolest thing of all?  Once that tale is complete then the reader can go back to the start of the book and sail off once again using their ingenuity and inventiveness to build a completely different story.  The illustrations offer the reader, clothes to dress up in, places to go, a variety of random objects to take with them, crew members to pick from, a mode of travel, different journey routes, rewards, and how to end the tale, just to name a few.   The illustrator has embedded an adorable little penguin to find on each page. 

This is a perfect book for little ones on lockdown. It is a book that can be enjoyed time and time again.  I highly recommend it.

About the Illustrator

Stef is a Freelance Illustrator and Storyteller living in London. She was born in 1993 as part of a BOGOF deal with her twin brother to join her 5 other siblings. Since then she has starred in such plays as ‘A Murphy Christmas Production’ and the Living Room sell out show ‘The Match Match Twins’. 

Despite indisputable success in the acting world, Stef decided that her real love lay elsewhere — on the carpet, drawing animals and making up stories about  cement fairies and misunderstood minotaurs. 

On one occasion her sister told her a story that made her laugh so hard she wet herself. Although she would dread to think that this information would be declared freely on the internet, she insists that this is the precedent she must live up to and that her book will, one day, make you too wet yourself.
