Nappy the Pirate Baby by Alan MacDonald

Life aboard the Salty Herring is usually calm and lazy for Captain Sprat and his pirate crew… until one day they hear a mysterious wailing sound.

Shiver me timbers — there’s a baby on board!

The crew quickly decide to raise the little stowaway as one of their own and name him Nappy the Pirate Baby. But looking after a baby is very different from sailing the seas. Between bottles, naps and pirate life, the crew soon realise they might be in over their heads!

And one big question remains… where did Nappy come from?

Nappy the Pirate Baby, written by bestselling author Alan MacDonald (Dirty Bertie series), is a hilarious and heartwarming chapter book full of pirate chaos, humour and unexpected tenderness.
