Relato divertidisimo e ingenioso que describe a los piratas mas graciosos y al muchacho Jolly Roger, secuestrado por ellos. Roger les explica su triste vida, y los trabajos a los que le obliga su madre. Los piratas indignados deciden dar un escarmiento a esa despiadada madre, pero les aguarda una sorpresa. Un barco pirata que lanzase al viento la Jolly Roger (Bandera pirata con la calavera) podria intimidar la tripulacion enemiga y obligarla a rendirse sin disparar ni un solo canon.
Meet Cushie Butterfieldshe′s a little cow! Cushie Butterfield is feeling too sick to go to school. Her friends and family can all see how poorly she is − her face is covered‚ first with red spots‚ then with green and yellow checks and then with blue triangles? Whatever could the matter be? Could it have anything to do with the box of face paints under her bed?
Good news! It's a beautiful day. Hooray! Bad news! It's a school day. Boo! Good news! You've got the day off. Hooray! Bad news! To go to the dentist. Boo! A boy's walk to the dentist becomes a hazardous adventure featuring a host of frightful characters. There is a surprise around every corner as he encounters such fearsome creatures as his worst teacher, aliens, a dinosaur, and a witch -- each more terrifying than the last! But it's all right, his luck is in...or is it? Will our hero ever arrive at the dreaded dentist? Is it good news, or bad news?
