Captain Pike Looks After The Baby by Marjorie Newman

Captain Pike Looks After The Baby by Marjorie Newman

Captain Pike discovers that looking after a baby isn't quite as easy as he thought it would be in this crazy piratical mix of cutlasses and lullabies, treasure maps and nappies. Having a baby on board ship doesn't go down well with the other pirates -- they're tough buccaneers, not baby minders! But when Captain Whitebeard and his crew attack the ship, it turns out some pirates have a soft spot for babies...and at last Captain Pike learns how to cope with his offspring. With a story to really make children giggle and bright, colourful illustrations bursting with energy and comic detail from an exciting new artist, these pirates are hard to resist!

Kate Pankhurst won the Macmillan Prize in 2002, and this is her first picture book. An artist with a sparkling future, her distinctive, humorous collage artwork style has a wide appeal and is already earning her international interest. Kate lives in Liverpool, and is currently working for her MA in Children's Book Illustration at Preston University. Marjorie Newman is an award-winning writer whose bestselling picture books include Mole and the Baby Bird, illustrated by Patrick Benson (Bloomsbury). She also has a lot of experience writing for BBC radio and children's television. Formerly an infant teacher, Marjorie now writes full time from her home in Southampton. A keen musician, artist, and animal lover, she only recently gave up riding her motorbike -- which she donated to a museum!
