Meet Colin, a brave but stubborn ship’s cat, who can’t stop climbing trees. When he gets stuck, can Firefighter Sally reach him? Then, sail the seas from with the strangest pirates you’ll ever meet.

Instead of treasure, they collect revolting ingredients to cook up their terrible recipe for Purple Pickled Pop. Expect disgusting discoveries and lots of laughter.
