Description

Do you have what it takes to be a pirate? Just grab the included marker and start drawing--there's buried treasure waiting to be found!

Yo-ho-HELP! Are you brave enough to fend off hungry sharks, navigate through treacherous waters, and outsmart a sinister sea serpent? Quick--pick up the dry-erase marker that comes with this book and put your drawing skills to work. This pirate and his parrot need help deciphering their map, digging up treasure, and opening a mysterious chest. It's up to YOU to complete the book. Once you're done, just wipe off the pages and test your drawing prowess again. From the swashbuckling David LaRochelle, Geisel Award-winning author of See the Cat and its sequels, comes a clever, interactive adventure tailor-made for creative kids, enthusiastic doodlers, and anyone who's ever dreamed of being a pirate.
