The Admiral is under strict orders from the Prime Minister – to search the Seven Seas, capture Captain Pugwash and bring him back alive. Far away on a sunny island in the middle of the Pacific, Captain Pugwash has no idea of the fearful fate that awaits him. The sky is blue, the sea is warm and the Captain and his crew are having a lovely time, but will they be able to evade the law for much longer?
The stories are wonderfully told: simple, clear language that stays on course... and of course the illustrations are so enduringly distinctive, with Pugwash of the late Pavarotti-like proportions. - Book Magazine
As usual Tom had a very clever plan to save the day and get rid of two enemies at the same time. Find out how in this hilarious picture book with smallish print and quite a few sentences on each page for those gaining confidence in their reading. - Primary Times
A fun, derring-do tale of adventure and comeuppance. A most entertaining book for newly independent readers or to read aloud with a younger age group. - Irish Examiner
Daring masterstrokes of loopiness and whose energetic caricatures of all and sundry are as bright as they are barmy. Don't believe though that it is all thoughtless jollification. For while it is unlikely that, say, piratical villains in their hammocks would have washing pegged out on an overhead line...the artist's control of his maritime, and sometimes sartorial, details has a convincing air of authenticity. - Books for Keeps
