Pirates

Under 5s Pre-School/Nursery/Infant

It sounds as though it was great fun recording this cassette. Adrian Edmondson is a happy choice of zany, vivacious presenter for such a comic and gutsy book. The liveliness of the book's illustration is translated onto the cassette into tuneful pirate shanties, sayings, calling voices and lots of inventive sound effects. The whizzing cannon-ball, which is released in one ear, whizzes across the head and explodes in the other ear, is particularly effective! Jam-packed with comic pirate detail from plunder and games to grog and pirate loos.
