With Halloween just around the corner, many kids look forward to dressing up and a popular costume choice is dressing like a pirate! Even if you missed the International Talk Like a Pirate Day in September you can still have fun this month with this adorable new book from Feeding Minds Press! Take your first look at Potatoes for Pirate Pearl below and enter for a chance to win a fun pirate's chest full of goodies!

About Potatoes for Pirate Pearl 

Travel along with Pirate Pearl and her parrot, Petunia, as they grow tired of their hardtack biscuits and abandon ship in search of new vittles. Their treasure map leads them to an unlikely place: Farmer Fay’s potato farm. Farmer Fay shares her grub and her knowledge with Pearl, teaching the pirate everything she needs to know about growing and caring for a potato harvest. The unlikely friendship between the landlubber and the seafarer teaches children that friends are even more valuable than treasure. 

Just like potatoes are packed with nutrients every pirate needs, Potatoes for Pirate Pearl is full of potato facts to help farmers and pirates alike plant, harvest, and cook their tasty vittles. The back matter includes instructions for readers to grow their own potatoes, as well as recipes they can try at home.
