Book details
Goldenlocks and the Three Pirates
Description
Once upon a seaworthy sloop lived three menacing pirates: Mama, Papa and Baby. They were cunning with their cutlasses, but their ship needed a bit of upkeep. So when Goldenlocks stumbles onto the ship, she can't help but fix things up a bit: she spices up the gruel, she mends their broken stools, and she strings up their hammocks just right. The pirates soon decide that a handy girl like her is just what their family needs.
