Pirates Don’t Change Diapers

Melinda Long

illustrated by David Shannon

Pirates Don’t Change Diapers is the hilarious companion to the bestselling How I Became a Pirate, which was a New York Times #1 bestseller. It was also acclaimed as a School Library Journal Best Book, a Nick Jr. Best Book of the Year and an ALA Notable Children’s Book.

Shiver me timbers! The pirates are setting sail on a dangerous adventure, facing a situation even more terrifying than walking the plank ... babysitting!

When the pirate crew turns up at Jeremy Jacob’s house and accidentally wakes his baby sister, that wee scallywag howls louder than a storm on the high seas. Sure, there’s buried treasure to be found, but nobody’s digging up anything until Bonney Anne quits her caterwauling. So Braid Beard and his swashbuckling pirates have to put down their treasure maps and pick up some diapers. Blimey!

Melinda Long (California) is a teacher and the author of the award-winning bestseller How I Became a Pirate.

David Shannon (California) is the illustrator of many successful picture books, including How I Became a Pirate. His numerous awards include a Caldecott Honor for No, David!
