Yo-ho, yo-ho, a pirate's life for me!

Pirates Don't Change Diapers by Melinda Long


Hi AJ boys and girls! As you can see from the photo, Captain Norman of the High Seas is getting very in character for us to read Pirates Don't Change Diapers today. I think he wants me to help him bury his gold medallion and jewels so nobody steals them. You can see Norman is wearing his captain's uniform, and he also has a pirate hat (that is too big and keeps falling off his head), a telescope (so he can spot other ships from afar) and his trusty cutlass (a sword with a curved blade.) Do you think he knows that pirates didn't allow dogs on ships because they thought they brought bad luck? I won't tell him if you wont 🙊

Today we are going to read the sequel to How I Became a Pirate, called Pirates Don't Change Diapers. Wait until you see what happens when the pirates become babysitters for Jeremy Jacob's little sister Bonnie Anne. My favourite part is when some of the pirates put diapers on their heads. You are going to laugh out loud at this story!

I am also attaching a really fun pirate colour-by-number sheet. There are lots of numbers and different colours in this one, so make sure you use the legend at the bottom of the sheet to figure out which colour goes with which number!

I hope you enjoyed the story - aren't those pirates funny? Make sure to do some reading for fun today!
