What is Are you the pirate captain? about?

First Mate Hugh and his crew are ready to sail, but their ship is missing one important person: a captain. They interview a parade of unusual pirates, each claiming to have the courage and experience to lead. But is a peg leg, a fearsome hook or a fearsome reputation enough? Told in lively rhyme and packed with comic pirate characters, this swashbuckling adventure follows the crew’s search for a captain with the cleverness, confidence and good sense to steer them towards exciting seas.
