I don't mean to gloat, and I don't mean to boast,
But the King trusted me with his 'secret post.'
He said, 'Guard this message, whatever the cost -
It'll be pigeon for tea if this message is lost!'
Long ago, pigeons delivered the post - but they had to beware of spies! When the King's prized messenger pigeon gossips, his top-secret message is overheard... and soon discovered by Blackbeard, a fierce pirate captain.
What follows is a swashbuckling adventure filled with humour, friendship, and unexpected twists.
Loose Lips Sink Ships is an uplifting, rhyming tale that teaches children an important life lesson about trust, the consequences of our actions, and the power of making good decisions. Bursting with fun and surprises, it's a firm bedtime favourite and a perfect choice for reading aloud.
