Hidden deep in a jungle, past a snake pit, high on a cliff, there is a secret pirate treasure, and Captain Dare is inviting readers to help him find it. This interactive journey brings out the seafaring scoundrel in everyone. Children repeat the orders of Captain Dare as he leads them on a treasure hunt unlike any other. As Captain Dare shouts orders at his crew of "lily-liver landlubbers" and "little milk sippers" and transforms children into real pirates, readers must wade across a crocodile-filled lagoon, swing through the vines of a dangerous jungle, and sneak across a giant pit of snakes. At the end of this magical journey, children discover that the treasure they are hunting is more valuable than anything, even gold.
