Pirates to the Rescue: Ahoy There! Pirates Can Listen
Tom Easton
This funny story about pirates will also show how important it is to listen.
The pirate crew of the ‘Golden Duck’ are excited about going into Port Pegleg to spend their gold coins. However, no one listens to Captain Cod’s warning about his old enemy, Captain Blackears and his Horrid Pirates, who want to steal the pirate crew’s treasure and hold the pirates for ransom. Has not listening to Captain Cod put the pirates in danger? If so, can good listening save them?
The books in the ‘Pirates to the Rescue’ series are designed to help children to recognise the virtues of generosity, honesty, politeness and kindness. Reading these books with children will help them to understand that their actions and behaviour have a real effect on people around them. The books will help young readers to recognise what is right and wrong and what to do when faced with difficult choices.
Notes for parents, guardians and teachers are included at the end of the story to help give starting points for discussion and follow-up activities to help encourage positive behaviour.
Reviews

I liked this book. My favourite character is Nell still - as she’s the only girl pirate. My favourite part in the book was when Pete and Davy Jones were eating their Ice cream sundaes.

It was a funny book because even though the captain told them what was going to happen they didn’t listen so they had all their gold stolen and Polly only wanted a cracker.

It was a funny and well illustrated story.I think captain black ears was strange because he actually had black ears. I like polly the parrot but think that she should of listened to captain Cod in the first place. I would recommend this book to someone in between the age of 5 and 9.

I like captain Blackears because i love enemy characters. I would love to be a pirate because then i can get gold coins. I would recommend it to others.
