How I Became a Pirate - Book

Braid Beard's pirate crew invites Jeremy to join them and become a pirate. Buried treasure, tough pirate talk, sea shanties, bad table manners, no bedtime-who wouldn't want to be a pirate.

In How I Became a Pirate, by Melinda Long with illustrations by Caldecott Honor illustrator David Shannon, Braid Beard's pirate crew invites young Jeremy Jacob to join their voyage, and he jumps right on board.

Soon he knows all about buried treasure, sea chanteys, throwing food and laughing off bedtime. Then Jeremy Jacob finds out what pirates don't do. This New York Times bestselling 44-page hardcover was first published in 2003.
