Melinda Long and David Shannon of How I Became A Pirate fame have not disappointed in their latest endeavor, Pirates Don't Change Diapers (ages 2-6). Appropriately mischievous and filled with action, this band of pirates happen to be the perfect companions to babysitting your baby sister, especially when they are searching for buried treasure in your backyard.

Braid Beard and his pirate crew are back in a swashbuckling sequel!

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, quicker than you can say "scurvy dog," Braid Beard and his swashbuckling pirates become . . . babysitters? Blimey!
    

This hilarious companion to How I Became a Pirate reveals that minding the nursery can be even more terrifying than walking the plank--especially if you're a pirate.
