Shifty McGifty and Slippery Sam: Pirates Ahoy!, the swashbuckling pirate adventure by Tracey Corderoy, has been named among Waterstones’s best new children’s books.

The Waterstones review reads:

“The side-splitting picture book series continues with the cupcake-baking, formerly criminal canines embarking on a madcap, rhyming adventure to reclaim Captain Chucklebeard’s treasure from the dastardly Captain Sharpwhiskers.”

Shifty McGifty and Slippery Sam: Pirates Ahoy! is out now. Grab it here or, better, via your local bookshop or Bookshop.org.
