Riassunto

Noticing some shiny yellow items on a nearby ship, pirate Captain Pugwash's love of gold inspires him to chase it down and steal its loot, but when cabin boy Tom realizes that it is a trick by their archenemy Cut-throat Jake, he has to muster the courage to convince his greedy captain to put a stop to the chase for the sake of everyone on board.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

The stories are wonderfully told: simple, clear language that stays on course... and of course the illustrations are so enduringly distinctive, with Pugwash of the late Pavarotti-like proportions.

(Book Magazine)

Pirate tales never date and this one will be popular with young readers who will be enlivened not only by the writing but also by the numerous, vigorous and colourful illustrations.

(Ibby Link)

The distinctive illustrations are lively, quirky and full of fun and add to the straightforward and tongue-in-cheek, amusing text.
