First sentence: Pirate stew！ Pirate stew！ Pirate stew for me and you！Premise/plot: When the parents go out， they hire PIRATES to babysit their two children。 The entire picture book is one long （illustrated） poem。 Much of the action takes place as these pirates are preparing a meal for the two kids。 A stew， of course， guaranteed to turn any who eat of it into a pirate。 The kids say NO THANK YOU。 But will the parents？My thoughts: The illustrations were fun and amusing。 The LACK of rhythm in a rhym First sentence: Pirate stew！ Pirate stew！ Pirate stew for me and you！Premise/plot: When the parents go out， they hire PIRATES to babysit their two children。 The entire picture book is one long （illustrated） poem。 Much of the action takes place as these pirates are preparing a meal for the two kids。 A stew， of course， guaranteed to turn any who eat of it into a pirate。 The kids say NO THANK YOU。 But will the parents？My thoughts: The illustrations were fun and amusing。 The LACK of rhythm in a rhyming poem not so much。 Granted， I take rhyming poems seriously。 I expect if you go to the effort to make something rhyme that it will have a NATURAL and AUTHENTIC and GENUINE rhythm to it。 Yes， it technically rhymed but it sounded neither natural to human speech OR rhythmic。 You can suspend your disbelief a bit if the rhythm is right。I do think Gaiman is well enough known as an author that he could have anything published。 （And I do enjoy *some* of his work。 I do。 It's just not everyone can right a *good* picture book。I do think that the ridiculous， silly， over-the-top ingredients might make kids laugh。 。。。more

Pirates as babysitters ？！？！ You bet！ I love when Neil Gaiman writes for children and fans of Neil Gaiman will not be disappointed。 The illustrations are wonderful and I found myself looking back again and again to make sure that I did not miss anything。 Another addition to my pirate collection！

I am going to make this stew， and eat it， and then I will be positively the most fearsome pirate in the entire ocean。

Another fun story from Neil Gaiman。 This is a fun story about friendly and honest pirates （so if they are honest and true to their word， does that mean they are really pirates。） They love their pirate fashion， food and adventure。2 children are annoyed that their parents are leaving them with a babysitter。 They are big enough to stay by themselves。 So， the babysitter shows up and it's a pirate cook coming in with a hook and pirate garb and beard。 The parents leave and then a horde of diverse pira Another fun story from Neil Gaiman。 This is a fun story about friendly and honest pirates （so if they are honest and true to their word， does that mean they are really pirates。） They love their pirate fashion， food and adventure。2 children are annoyed that their parents are leaving them with a babysitter。 They are big enough to stay by themselves。 So， the babysitter shows up and it's a pirate cook coming in with a hook and pirate garb and beard。 The parents leave and then a horde of diverse pirates show up for dinner and some fun。 There is music and singing and the story is a fantasy。 It's worth the read and people will read it。 I showed this book to my nephew and he thought it looked fun and wanted to read it too。Neil uses prose， but it doesn't rhyme。 You can tell he does this on purpose。 He simply has such a way with words， which is why he is the author he is。 The artwork is colorful， fun and full of energy。 You can feel the chaos going on in the story。 Each pirate is a character simply from the pictures。 I think any kid who enjoys a fun story will enjoy this。 I love this！！！ 。。。more

Ehhhhhh。。。maybe this would have been better if it came out in the '90s。 This whole concept and execution felt very dated。 Maybe I went in with my expectations too high？ The whole story just felt， off。。。 Ehhhhhh。。。maybe this would have been better if it came out in the '90s。 This whole concept and execution felt very dated。 Maybe I went in with my expectations too high？ The whole story just felt， off。。。 。。。more

The illustrations were beautiful and I loved the diversity。 The actual storyline itself was okay。 Definitely for a slightly older child and maybe one who is really into pretend。 I also didn't see the ending coming and I loved that！ The illustrations were beautiful and I loved the diversity。 The actual storyline itself was okay。 Definitely for a slightly older child and maybe one who is really into pretend。 I also didn't see the ending coming and I loved that！ 。。。more

Moja sestričina i ja smo je pročitali za nekih dvadesetak minuta。 Teksta ima jako malo （za ovako veliku knjigu） i mislim da su avanture sa gusarima （u odsustvu roditelja） mogle da budu brojnije i možda malo komplikovanije。 Teško je ocenjivati ove knjige zbog fenomenalnih izdanja i ilustracija。 Prelepe su same po sebi！ Ako gledam priču i zamisao， više mi se dopala "Srećom， mleko。。。" Moja sestričina i ja smo je pročitali za nekih dvadesetak minuta。 Teksta ima jako malo （za ovako veliku knjigu） i mislim da su avanture sa gusarima （u odsustvu roditelja） mogle da budu brojnije i možda malo komplikovanije。 Teško je ocenjivati ove knjige zbog fenomenalnih izdanja i ilustracija。 Prelepe su same po sebi！ Ako gledam priču i zamisao， više mi se dopala "Srećom， mleko。。。" 。。。more

ARRR！ Yarrr！！ The pirates are here and better be warned so is their stew~ Yohohoho！So I have been immensely HYPED about this book ever since I found out about it last year。 I wanted to read it ever since then， but due to things I had to wait and wait， and then one day I visited one of my libraries， and WOW， it was there！ And in English even！ I finally could give this book a try。And what a yohohoho fun book this was。 With delightful text by Neil Gaiman and the gorgeous are of Chris Riddell。 We re ARRR！ Yarrr！！ The pirates are here and better be warned so is their stew~ Yohohoho！So I have been immensely HYPED about this book ever since I found out about it last year。 I wanted to read it ever since then， but due to things I had to wait and wait， and then one day I visited one of my libraries， and WOW， it was there！ And in English even！ I finally could give this book a try。And what a yohohoho fun book this was。 With delightful text by Neil Gaiman and the gorgeous are of Chris Riddell。 We read about a pirate cook who is apparently also a baby-sitter。 I still don’t know why， but oh boy did I love it！ I mean， who wouldn’t want to have a pirate， of course along with his crew because those guys and gals are dropping by as well， as babysitter？ I know I would！ Especially when it is time for dessert and donuts are on the menu。I was definitely surprised about the stew。 At first I thought， hey， maybe I can make it at home， but in the end some weird stuff went in there。 Haha。 Plus， you know， pirate stew has some cough extra magical proportions。 On the one hand， YAS， on the other hand… maybe not。I loved the magical evening and I had a big giggle at the end and what happened when the parents came home。 I do have to also say that while I giggled， I also went OH NO and that I felt a bit sad for the kids。 But it is an ending that befits a book by these artists。The art was just magical and I love the diversity in the pirates， but then again， you won’t ever hear me say a bad word about Chris Riddell’s art。 He just cannot make bad art。All in all， a fun and magical book about pirates， babysitting， and be warned about the stew！Review first posted at https://twirlingbookprincess。com/ 。。。more
