Opening sentence
In a small seaside house live a family of mice, who always behaved in ways mother thought 'nice'.
Emma Vere-Jones has written a fun story, full of rhyme to enjoy. This story is about a mouse who doesn't fit in at home, and who dreams of sailing the sea. One day she boards a ship, but it is not sailors she meets... it's pirates! Read how she becomes a fierce She-Pirate, gains a trusty sidekick, She-Pirate Flea, and how they become 'Queens of the sea!'

The Ballad of the She-Pirate Mouse would make a great read aloud book, with fun illustrations that match the story. Young children will enjoy issuing this book from the library.
