A Pop-Up Tale of Bad Luck, Sharp Teeth, and Stinky Toes
In this pop-up pirate adventure, five pirates try to avoid
being eaten by a shark when their ship springs a leak. They try to plug the
hole with everything from the captain's coat to
his rope, but in the
end it's their
smelly feet that turn
the shark away.
Each spread features
a colorful,
intricate pop-up designed by a master paper engineer,
and the pop-ups grow more
elaborate with each turn of the page. CLICK HERE to watch a special pirate video, read an exclusive author interview and more!
