What is Pirate stew about?

When two children need a babysitter, Long John McRon arrives with a crew of lively pirates and a recipe for adventure. Soon, their ordinary evening becomes a fantastic voyage beneath a pirate moon, complete with flying ships, doughnut feasts and a bubbling pot of pirate stew. Told in lively rhyme, this playful picture book celebrates imagination, silliness and the unexpected fun that can begin when a very unusual babysitter comes to stay.
