A lively rhyming pirate adventure written by Mal Peet, winner of the Carnegie Medal and Guardian Prize, and Elspeth Graham, based on ‘The House That Jack Built’.

A visual feast with bright, characterful illustrations by talented artist Jez Tuya.

A boy and his dog set sail in search of treasure, braving stormy seas . . . mountains snowy and cold . . . the forest where the monkeys swing . . . the swamp where the bullfrogs sing . . . and other challenging obstacles, before finally reaching the end of their quest.

But wait! Pirate Frank is A GIRL! And she doesn’t want to share. Back home they go, retracing their steps before sailing away to dream of the treasure they’ve lost.

This read-aloud picture book is perfect for all scallywags aged 3-6.

I really enjoyed reading this to my kids- it had a nice rhythm that kept pace going, though I had to be careful not to get too fast. I good one to read aloud!

I like the book because at the end you find out what pirate frank looks like. I’m the book they make you think it’s a boy but pirate frank is a girl.

I loved this book because it was very interesting and exciting! My favourite character was the boy because he was adventurous like me. I loved the pictures because they were very colourful. I would recommend this book to someone who likes pirates, adventure stories and poetry.

I liked this book because it is full of adventure. I like how it rhymes and the descriptions of the island. I learnt about mountains, volcanoes and jungles. I liked the monkeys best because at the end of the book they took all the pirates treasure. I think people who like pirates, adventures and poetry would like this book.

Hey he got home in time.

I liked this book but i felt it was too long and he was searching for Pirate Frank but he never got his treasure as the treasure belonged to Captain Sally Frank . He had to run away as fast as he could to get back to his ship as Captain Sally Frank was chasing him.

I thought it was funny because when he got to the X marks the spot he said 'pirate frank she's not on the map'!

You had to up the volcano and under the tree and the treasure box said Captain Sally Frank- Hands Off!
