About the Book

In this New York Times bestseller illustrated by Caldecott Honor-winning illustrator David Shannon, a boy sets off on a pirate adventure--with surprising results! When Braid Beard's pirate crew invites Jeremy Jacob to join their voyage, he jumps right on board. Buried treasure, sea chanteys, pirate curses--who wouldn't go along? Soon Jeremy Jacob knows all about being a pirate. He throws his food across the table and his manners to the wind. He hollers like thunder and laughs off bedtime. It's the heave-ho, blow-the-man-down, very best time of his life. But then Jeremy Jacob finds out what pirates don't do. . . . Caldecott Honor illustrator David Shannon teams up with Melinda Long for a hilarious look at the finer points of pirate life. Shiver me timbers--it's a pirate adventure! How I Became a Pirate is a swashbuckling adventure with fantastically silly illustrations.

Review :
A roaring good read. -- "Teaching K-8" (9/1/2003 12:00:00 AM) Caldecott Honor-winner Shannon spices up this spirited pirate tale with vivid, appropriately zany acrylics. -- "Child Magazine" (9/1/2003 12:00:00 AM) Long's dry, tongue-in-cheek humor serves as an ideal springboard for Shannon's gleefully madcap illustrations. -- "Publishers Weekly (starred review)" (7/7/2003 12:00:00 AM) Readers will be blown away by this rowdy gang, depicted in richly robust, humorous paintings. -- "School Library Journal" (11/20/2003 12:00:00 AM) Shannon's illustrations... are a page-turning glory. Long's clever and spirited text leaves other pirate books in the bilge. -- "San Diego Union-Tribune" (9/7/2003 12:00:00 AM)
