"Ahoy there, Lila Pirate! Ahoy to Lila's crew! The Jolly Jake is setting sail... There's lots of work to do!" Lila and her crew of jolly mates set sail, in search of treasure. Teddy is up in the crow's nest, keeping watch, but when a sudden storm hits, he falls from his perch and - shiver me timbers! - sinks beneath the waves. Luckily a friendly mermaid rescues him just in the nick of time... and everyone gathers to celebrate his return with a pirate party. A feisty pirate heroine, a beautiful mermaid, a brave crew and big adventure - this delightful book has all the ingredients to entertain and delight young children, over and over again!
