Pirate Stew

Neil Gaiman

Neil Gaiman spins a silly yarn about a pirate babysitter who makes "Pirate Stew" for dinner.  Made of onions and carrots, cannonballs, wooden planks, mermaid tears and other ridiculous things, beware, it will turn you into a pirate if you eat it!  Soon the house is a pirate ship sailing through the sky and finding a donut shop to pillage.  The children charges are savvy and Gaiman's rhymes are fun to read aloud.










(We actually have a dish we call "Pirate Stew".  It's beef and potatoes and a little bit of everything made in the crock pot.)
