The Bossy Pirate
The title foreshadows the story.
Very creative use of the unicycle and clothespins to make a steering wheel for the ship.
The kids realised how bossy the pirate was and how the mermaid transformed him into a collaborative pirate where anyone can give orders, and anybody can contribute maps. I loved the natural segue between the attic and the ocean, between reality and imagination. The number of pages could have been reduced. Good lesson to remember. Lots of nautical words learned. I didnt know yardarm and scuttlebutt.
