"This is the story of the fierce Captain Jones,
And his pirate ship with the skull and cross bones.
With a patch on one eye and a hook for a hand,
He sailed the oceans looking for land.
If you just spoke his name, people trembled with fear,
They ran and they hid when he was near.
His ship had huge sails (and being old, had no motor),
It was dirty and smelly and he called it ‘The Floater’."
Sure to be a modern classic; 'The Tea Swigging Pirate Jones' follows Captain Jones and his crew as they hunt for treasure in a rhyming adventure. In a journey which takes them through caves and caverns with dragons and magic, this is sure to be as popular with teachers as it is for children!
A Powerpoint collection of activities relating to the text is also included.
What happens when a little worm is brave enough to take a journey above ground? Will he end up as a meal for a larger animal?
Join him on his journey in this charming rhyming adventure.
