This is a cute story about what happens when what you think is fun, is not what everyone else thinks is fun.
Salty Jack invites his friends over to his attic room to join his pirate ship, and sail the seven seas. His friends are all eager, but Jack wants to give the orders, he wants to do what he wants to do. At first his friends get into it, and enjoy themselves, until Jack won't let them do anything but what he wants.
As Millie points out, below, mermaids don't take orders, and she opts out of his game.
And so do the others. And although it is fun to have a pirate ship, by yourself, for a while, it is much more fun to play with others, as Jack soon finds out.
Good and easy point about letting friends help with the game.

I've read a lot of pirate books over the years because my son was obsessed with them from age 3 to 6. I love the blend of illustrations of the boys room and the pirate ship on the ocean. The pirate vocabulary is fun and there is a little glossary in the back. The book has a good message of learning how to play better with others and letting them decide some of the activities and play ideas. I definitely recommend picking it up. It is a fun read with great illustrations of pretend play and an excellent message for young kids.

The imagination exhibited and the lesson learned in this story is commendable, but overall, it's lackluster. It's not going to win any awards for creativity or mind-blowing concepts. It's a cute book with a basic premise and written well enough, but it's headed for the bargain bin.
