"How I Became a Pirate" By Melinda Long

This month we decided to do an audio presentation of a very fun book. Mr. Cunningham's class produced this recording.
Please listen to the book and then answer this question: What is your dream "job" and what would be the pros and cons of having this job?

How I Became a Pirate, the young character enthusiastically goes on a pirate adventure. He quickly learns what he likes and doesn’t like about the "job" of pirate.
