About this audiobook
Meet LONG JOHN McRON, SHIP'S COOK . . . and the most unusual babysitter you've ever seen.
Long John has a whole crew of wild pirates in tow, and—for one boy and his sister—he's about to transform a perfectly ordinary evening into a riotous adventure beneath a pirate moon. It's time to make some PIRATE STEW.
Marvelously silly and gloriously entertaining, this tale of pirates, flying ships, doughnut feasts and some rather magical stew is perfect for all pirates, both young and old.
With a deliciously rhyming text from master storyteller Neil Gaiman and a spellbinding cover illustration by the supremely talented Chris Riddell, this is the picture book of the year!
Pirate Stew! Pirate Stew!
Pirate Stew for me and you!
Pirate Stew, Pirate Stew
Eat it and you won’t be blue
You can be a pirate too!

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was a really enjoyable story. I liked the bold artwork and the whimsical tale, it covered a lot of very diverse pirates. The story was pretty simple and easy to follow, and the rhymes were fun.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5What arrrrtistic sounds of treasure, such a pirrrates golden pleasure!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5When their Mom and Dad go out on a date, a brother and sister end up with Long John McRon, Ship's Cook, as their babysitter. When Long John has a bunch of his pirate friends over to make Pirate Stew, there's no telling what will happen.I picked up this picture book because of Neil Gaiman, of course, and while the story is very cute I didn't love it as much as anticipated because the rhyme scheme isn't consistent. Lots of ABAB rhyming and then one sentence that would suddenly not rhyme at all. However, the illustrations by Chris Riddell are gorgeous and I love that our children protagonists are bi-racial. For kiddos that love pirates, this will be a fun read but if you're the grown up reading it to a little be prepared for it to be a little uneven as a reading experience.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I think the rhyme scheme of this book was mostly a scheme to trip me up as I tried to read it aloud, but it was fun nonetheless with its predictable but satisfying ending. The pictures really carry the day.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Fun, silly, bright.
