The incorrigible Colin McNaughton sneaks a baby aboard a pirate ship with hilarious results in this kid-pleasing saga of pseudo-sword-fighting, smelly diapers, and hide-and-seek on the high seas. Oooh-argh, ha-har! KABOOM! Who could be a-disturbin' Captain Abdul's beauty sleep firin' cannons? No, it's not an attack on his raucous pirate ship, The Golden Behind. It's a special delivery - a Little Treasure, to be exact, sent courtesy of Mrs. Abdul, who's off on a pirating jaunt of her own. Now Captain Abdul and his hairy, scary mates are expected to babysit! Will this be the ruin of their "repootashun" and make them the laughingstock of the pirate world?
I don't get tired of hearing this and I'm an adult!

My 16 month and 3 year old love, love, love this book. When Little Treasure whoops "Swoosages" and the Pirates fall about laughing, so do they! It's a unique, witty book that my 3 year old repeats verbatum. The CD is 30 minutes long and instantly quiets them on trips. Highly recommended.
fantastic

My boys 3 and 6 LOVE this book. Some of the humor is a little off kilter and different but if you have boys or girls who enjoy that sort of thing, they will enjoy this book. It is about a pirate crew on the Golden Behind who find a "treasure" and take turns "babysitting" in some very interesting ways. I can always tell when my husband reads this bedtime story because I can hear them all laughing from the bedroom. If you are experiencing bedtime book fatigue get this one and enjoy bedtime reading. Another good one is Skunks by David T. Greenberg. I still laugh when I read that one:)
