Captain Braid Beard and his swashbuckling pirate crew are back, and they are ready to dig up the treasure they buried in Jeremy Jacob's backyard! There is just one massive problem. The noisy pirates accidentally wake up Jeremy's baby sister, Bonney Anne, and that wee scallywag howls louder than a terrible storm on the high seas. Now, nobody is going to be allowed to dig up any shiny gold until the baby stops her caterwauling. So, quicker than you can say shiver me timbers, these tough, treasure hunting sailors have to become babysitters! Blimey! You will laugh out loud as you watch grown pirates try to figure out how to calm a crying baby. It turns out that minding the nursery and changing diapers might actually be far more terrifying than walking the plank. Jump into this hilarious adventure where high sea antics meet the everyday chaos of having a little sister.

Pirates have green teeth, when they have any teeth at all! Jeremy Jacob is minding his own business building a sandcastle when a massive pirate ship sails into view. Before he knows it, he is invited aboard to join Captain Braid Beard and his swashbuckling crew on a fantastic ocean voyage. You will learn the finest points of living like a real pirate right alongside Jeremy. You get to discover how to yell scurvy dog, sing booming sea chanteys, and even throw your food without getting in trouble. It sounds like the perfect life! But as the sun goes down, Jeremy makes a surprising discovery about his new friends. Pirates do not read bedtime stories, they do not give good night kisses, and they definitely do not tuck you in. Get ready for a hilarious, action packed adventure on the high seas.
