Hairy Mole and the Pirate Olympics

by Chris Owen

Published 11 December 2012
Hairy Mole and his noble pirate crew have entered a team in the one hundred and first Pirate Olympics. Can the Littleton pirates beat the other three pirate teams to win gold? They're up against The Daisy Headhunters, captained by Wee Gladys the Mad, The Pirate Pensioners and The Whiskers Gang, led by Captain Bill Whiskers, who has a laugh that could make a puppy cry. Of course the Pirate Olympic events all need special skills. There's Walking the Plank, Jumping the Nearly Dead Man's Chest and Barrel Rolling. Will our clever, smelly pirates paarp their way to victory?

This is laugh-out-loud fun with Hairy Mole and his silly pirate crew! As with all four titles in the Hairy Mole series, this book is overflowing with excitement and adventure, the illustrations practically leaping off the page and the text struggling to stay still. The playful layouts offer a reduced amount of text on each page, making it even more suitable for newly independent readers.

Hairy Mole Reading Pack

Published 1 October 2013
Three very funny stories for newly independent readers, all featuring Hairy Mole and his pirate crew: Guff, Belch, Pickle, the twins Crevice and Pit - and of course Mr Bogey with his extra-squeaky voice and stubble you could grate cheese on. The playful layouts offer a reduced amount of text on each page - perfect also for reluctant readers. The Hairy Mole Reading Pack includes all four reading books from the series.

Hairy Mole thought he was the meanest, maddest, roughest, toughest pirate that ever lived. With a black bushy beard, rotten teeth and an eyepatch (which he didn't really need), Hairy Mole was nearly as scary as his pirate crew. And then one day Hairy Mole decided that enough was enough. He would follow his dreams and sail his little ship out onto the seven seas in search of adventures and jam. Even when Hairy Mole smells of lemons he still manages to lead his crew into great adventures, even if they do get to eat nothing but fish fingers.

This is laugh-out-loud fun with Hairy Mole and his silly pirate crew!

The pack includes two titles:

Hairy Mole the Pirate
Hairy Mole and the Precious Isles

Once more Hairy Mole has the whiff of the sea in his nostrils. Together with his crew Belch, Pickle, the twins Crevice and Pitt, tiny Guff and Mr Bogey the first mate, he sets out to sail the high seas once again. On their epic journey they meet an Italian pirate ship manned by colourful non-smelly pirates with exotic birds on their heads. Bravely Hairy Mole and his bold crew struggle on, eventually to be rescued from certain doom by thousands of seagulls in the most dramatic and splendid way possible.

Yet again, Hairy Mole and his terrifyingly cut-throat pirate crew take to the high seas - this time to rescue cousin Furry Mole from the clutches (and the knives and forks) of three outrageously wicked witches. On the way they discover stones that smell of Brussels sprouts, football-playing cockroaches and a crystal cavern guarded by something with really smelly breath. Onwards they battle through slime and thunder storms, determined to find, if not their fortunes, then plenty of exotic jams.
