Pirates Don't Drive Diggers

Digger-mad Brad is not cut out for a pirate's life, instead he dreams of life on a building site. When the Salty Dog sets sail, can he prove to Captain Blood that pirates do drive diggers after all? A rip-roaring, rhyming pirate tale for those digger-loving scallywags out there!

'Fantastic children's book. Beautifully combining my son's favourite things - pirates and diggers. We chuckled through this. It's brilliantly written and the illustrations are superb and work so well with capturing the story. A must read!!
