Pirate treasure comes with a sausage surprise

Fair Condition - Ex-library paperback with protective cover and library/withdrawn stamps. Covers scuffed/creased, edges/corners worn. Opening pages lightly spotted/marked; pages generally clean.

Captain Flint and his crew have stolen a sackful of sausages and a fortune in gold. It sounds like a very successful pirate expedition, until the weight of their treasure leaves the Stuck Pig living up to its unfortunate name. Suddenly the Poor Pirates have a problem that riches alone cannot solve. Tom Easton turns the familiar ingredients of a pirate adventure into a comic story of greed, mishaps and inconvenient consequences, with Matt Buckingham's illustrations adding to the fun. Published at Gold Band 9 in the Start Reading series, the book supports developing readers with an entertaining narrative and plenty of character. It is an inviting choice for children who enjoy seafaring silliness and heroes whose plans rarely go smoothly.
