I think this picture book is really fun. The illustrator and author of this book is the same illustrator that has illustrated the "Series of Unfortunate Events" series.
This book tells us how Pirates came about having the flag with the skull and bones on it.
Roger is a jolly pirate and his fellow buddies call him Jolly Roger, but they are not nice about it.
Anytime they do their pirate work, they send him down underneath. He doesn't like that.
So one day while the enemy has attacked their ship they send Roger underneath. Roger decides he is going to bake a cake so that they won't be so mad at him.
In making the cake he looks for a pot to cook it in. You see him putting his ingredients into a cannon. He lights the wick at the bottom to watch it cook. It explode and he gets blown through the ceiling and up on deck. He has soot and flour on him and looks like a ghost. The attacking enemies sees this and abandon ship.
His fellow pirates are so happy that they make a flag for him.
This a fun picture book. The pictures say so much even when the words don't say it. I love the explosion.
They have a song at the end that is just fun.
I really enjoyed this Children's Picture Book
