Roger is too jolly to be a pirate.
He does not scowl, growl, or strike fear into sailors' hearts like his pirate friends. So poor Roger is sent away whenever there is any real pirating to be done. Then one day, in the middle of a great battle, Jolly Roger cooks up a wonderful idea . . . and pirate ships will never be the same again!
"Told with a rhythm and bounce that begs to be read aloud. A rousing and humorous tale." -- School Library Journal
