Details
Synopsis
Jeremy Jacob joins Braid Beard and his pirate crew and finds out about pirate language, pirate manners, and other aspects of their life., While playing at the beach, a young boy is taken in by a band of pirates who request that he use his extraordinary sand shoveling skills to help them bury their treasure. At first the boy loves the freedom of life among the pirates (especially not eating spinach and having no set bedtime). However, he soon discovers that he might, indeed, be a landlubber at heart. Color illustrations accompany the text.

Publisher's Notes
First Line: "Pirates have green teeth--when they have any teeth at all. I know about pirates, because one day, when I was at the beach building a sand castle and minding my own business, a pirate ship sailed into view."
Industry Reviews
"Shannon's illustrations are pure gold: dense, detailed caricatures that affectionately satirize buccaneer fantasy."
Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Elizabeth Bush (01/01/2004)
"In addition to its appealing story, young readers will be hooked by this book's illustrations: Big, bold, and comically exaggerated, they leap off the pages to make HOW I BECAME A PIRATE a real treasure."
Bloomsbury Review - Virginia Nelson
