Join Little Paul as he gets ready to become a pirate! He knows exactly what he wants to be, but first he needs to work out everything a pirate needs. Step by step, Little Paul finds his striped T-shirt and trousers before adding a big belt, pirate hat, eye patch, his parrot, a sword and, of course, a boat. By the end of the story, Little Paul is finally ready to set off on his pirate adventure! 
 
The complete story is included in both English and French, allowing children to listen to and follow the same adventure in both languages. The workbook then builds on the story through vocabulary, music, worksheets, games and practical activities.
 
Children learn useful pirate vocabulary including le pirate, le chapeau, le cache-œil, le perroquet, l’épée, le bateau, la carte au trésor, le trésor, le drapeau and la pelle.
