love, love, love this! Listened to it on youtube and it was read by Neil Gaiman himself! Love his voice and his books. Such a pretty little book :)
A Valentine's gift from my sis, her hubby and my nieces, and it is perfect. I love Neil Gaiman, especially Neil Gaiman illustrated by Chris Riddell!
This is a children’s picture book about pirates who come to take care of two children while their parents go out for an evening.
I like to think Neil Gaiman can do no wrong, but alas, that isn’t the case. This book was
terrible. Parents go out for the evening and the babysitter for their two kids is a pirate,
and his fellow pirate friends. Together they make a pirate stew that will turn anyone who
eats it into a pirate. The illustrations are garish, good for a pirate book, I guess, BUT the
story in written in rhyme and I kept losing the rhythm of the rhyme which made it an
unpleasant experience.

I love me some pirates books but this one is dreadful to read. The rhymes are off and on and off and on. So awkward.

Mildly amusing, but I didn't enjoy it nearly as much as his other children's book Fortunately, the Milk. It does seem likely to be more enjoyed by young children though, so I wouldn't discourage parents from trying it out!

Fantastical and charming daydreamy adventure-rhyme.
