How I Became a Pirate

The humor and lighthearted tone make pirates seem so fun and approachable. I'm curious what the author's vision was for making pirates appealing to kids.

The book feels like a gateway to creativity — did others find it inspiring to think about their own pirate escapades after reading?

The jokes and funny moments are so engaging, but I wonder how much of that humor is targeted at kids versus something that also entertains adults reading aloud.
