Description

In this wordless graphic novel, Captain Barbosa sails the seven seas with his trusty shipmates: a fly, an alligator, and an elephant. A seagull steals his treasured hat, and Barbosa and his crew give chase through a nasty storm. When Barbosa reaches the seagull's island, he finds the hat--along with a nest of baby seagulls--and decides even pirates can forgive and forget.

Reviews

"A great wordless graphic novel for those new to the format or those who like to fill in the words themselves."--Booklist

"Fans of graphic novels and funny adventure stories will enjoy making up the words to this wordless tale."--School Library Journal

"Humor abounds, from the absurd casting choices for Barbosa's crew to the moment when the chortling mariners add an orange pigtailed wig to the captain's exposed, bald pate."--Kirkus Reviews
