A review by ljrinaldi
The Bossy Pirate by John Steven Gurney

3.0

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.
