The pirate crew has the Dread Pirate Flu, but they’re afraid of going to the doctor. Can they overcome their fears to get healthy again—and end up with something even better than a treasure chest? Pirate Flu (and What to Do) teaches children that being brave means facing your fears even when you’re scared. “What’s this?” yells the captain to his sickly crew. “Oh, blimey! Could this be the Dread Pirate Flu?” “Let’s tie up the doc, swabbies! Time to jump ship! Let’s pull up the anchor! No shots in our hips!” “These shots will help make you a healthier crew. Deep breaths, take your shots, not another ahhh-choo!” “And did I not mention our gold treasure chest Of piratey trinkets and things you like best?” In hammocks they swing and divide up the chest. Being brave made them feel at their triple-dog best!
