Fredbeard and Little Jim are terrible pirates. They can't buckle their swashes. They'd rather walk the dog than force anyone to walk the plank. And they always get seasick. Lucky for them, a crate washes up on shore with some very un-piratey sugar and yarn, perfect for making jam and wool sweaters and for changing careers. This humorous turn-around tale about the most non-traditional pirates is accompanied by the brightly colored illustrations.
