The Pirate Cruncher

The Pirate Cruncher
by Jonny Duddle (New Childrens Books)(2009)
for ages 3 and up

Aaarg! Who is ready for another pirate story? Some greedy pirates led by Captain Purplebeard are lured by the promise of treasure, of course. A mysterious fiddler tells the tale in rhyme, but only after boarding ship does he caution them about a certain pirate crunching monster. The pirates are naturally undeterred, "And if there's a beast, it better beware. I can smell that gold! We're almost there!" They finally find the tiny island and a giant fold out page contains the surprise at the end. Throughout visual clues tip the reader off about what may lay ahead and it's fun to go back and look again after you've gotten to the end. The drawings are amazing, especially the ocean waves. Any kid who likes pirates will like this book!
