There's a one-legged pirate who is determined to locate his very special, one-of-a-kind peg leg. The peg leg is a family heirloom passed from generation to generation. It was lost on a tiny lake, very far from the sea. Our pirate must find it so it can be passed down to other generations in his family.

Following the water from lakes to rivers to the ocean, our pirate braves the weather and searches the world. His travels are many, his adventures great, but the question remains: Will he find his peg leg? The answer is: Read A Pirate's Quest.

A Pirate's Quest is a fun book. Children will enjoy the quest, the adventures, the search for the peg leg. The illustrations are stunning! The scenes are brilliant, detailed and beautiful. I love the wildlife scenes, the swirling water and the detail of the pirate.

Armchair Interviews says: A Pirate's Quest is a wonderful addition to a child's library.

This beautifully written and illustrated book takes you on a fun and wonderful journey through moving water all over the world as a pirate searches for his lost family heirloom pegleg. Throughout the journey you feel for the pirate, appreciate the humor of the writers, and learn about water and wildlife! Children will enjoy this book over and over and over again as they discover more details with every read. The pictures are fantastic paintings, and the 2-page spread at the back lets you learn the name of every animal depicted in the book! This book makes a perfect gift.

My students love having this book read to them. Readers are exposed to wildlife and the water cycle in the very funny telling of this pirate's sad tale. Recommended!
