Piratas de andar por casa
Jeremy Strong
ISBN:8423676900
Los abuelos de Parchete habían sido piratas. También su padre y su madre fueron piratas, así que parecía evidente que también él debía ser pirata. Y ya era mala pata, porque a Parchete no le gustaba nada el mar. En realidad, no le gustaba el agua en general: ni para beber, ni para bañarse, ni para lavar... Pero sobre todo odiaba el agua del mar.
With sales of 4 million, Jeremy Strong is immensely popular with children, particularly boys, who adore his unique brand of silliness. He won the Children's Book Award in 1997 with The Hundred-Mile-An-Hour Dog and his books about Sigurd the Viking have been made into a TV series. He lives in Somerset.
