Pirate Baby

Here is a pirate story with a difference - featuring female pirates and a baby, this hilarious tale is full of unexpected
twists and turns.
"Shiver me timbers," said the Captain. "It's a baby!"
When the crew of pirate ship Ramshackle find a tiny baby adrift on the high seas, they are a bit flummoxed. Even more so,
when they discover it's a baby girl.
The adventures that follow in this rollicking tale are full of laughter and surprises, as the pirates sew nappies, make baby clothes
out of pirate shirts and even a toy squid out of pirate gloves for the new arrival. The pirates won't give up their baby – not even
to the women pirates who pass close by. And when a huge sea monster appears, it's baby Isla who saves the day, to become a
true Pirate Baby.
