“In our garden, there’s a tree

With lots of leaves and pears,

A tree-house and a ladder—

And a secret we must share.”

Katherine Hetzel takes us on a backyard high-seas adventure.   

The tree-house in the backyard pear tree has a secret. When the kids climb the tree they become pirates and the treehouse turns into a pirate ship. They embark on daring adventures, encounter sea creatures, and search for buried treasure as they sail into the endless seas of their imaginations. 

Pear Tree Pirates sparkles with vivid illustrations of spirited escapades and fun that 'that will leave kids and adults alike wanting to be pirates in a pear tree.
