[.ca] Roger, the Jolly Pirate (ISBN 0064438511)

YOU'LL BE SINGING LIKE A PIRATE!:
Brett Helquist, author of the Lemony Snicket series, brings young readers a fantastical pirate tale. Roger isn't a very good pirate. He tends to confuse the windward from the leeward and such. He smiles too much, and his fellow pirates like to frown and growl. His shipmates nickname him the "Jolly Roger." The Admiral sails in to capture the pirates, and Roger is put in the hold as usual, but something terrible happens. Let's hope Roger survives to tell the tale! Roger, The Jolly Pirate is fun. The illustrations are hilariously expressive. Kids can read it alone or have mom or dad read it aloud. Either way, everyone will be singing like pirates by the end of the book.

Funny!:
Roger does not fit in with the other pirates. The tease him and call him Jolly Roger and they don't mean it nicely. When the Admiral comes aboard, Roger is sent below. He wants to be liked so he decides to bake a cake in a large pot that is really a connon. He ends up as the hero with a whole new respect. They make a flag in honor of him, the skull and cross bones, and name it the Jolly Roger.
