Reviews
"For little ones, the main appeal of pirates has been the chance to say: Arrr! Kes Gray has fun with this - and particularly "Ahoy There!", a phrase that inspires his picture book in which a pirate goes looking for a hoy (and finds some)"
* The Sunday Times *"A delightful read on what it means to be yourself and a scallywag pirate."
