Purple beard and his crew meet a fiddler who tells them about an island with a glorious treasure. Purple beard doesn't care although some of his crew are a little bit nervous.
I like that each pirate has thought/word bubbles letting you see what they are really thinking. This makes me think that it would be a better book for reading with only between 1 and 3 kids b/c you can talk about the individual pirates.
There is a nice twist at the end with the island, the fiddler and the monster. The fiddler is a more complicated site gag and I'm not sure everyone will see it.

This book is very creative in the way that it portrays and draws the pirates. It is an easy book for children to get interested in.
I did not see that coming... the ending, I mean. Detailed illustrations and would be a fun read with children who love pirates.

All was unusually quiet in Port Royal ... but if you listened carefully, on the docks, down the alleyways, and in the candlelit taverns, you could hear the faint sound of a fiddle floating on the wind. - Last words
