When a boy goes to the beach with his family, his dad demonstrates he's a pirate by cracking pirate jokes all day. 

Ok, they were dumb dad jokes at first, but honestly, he kept it up the whole book and they got funnier and before I knew it I was reading some of them out loud. Kids will like this. Tom Jellet's illustrations are bold and colorful. What a fun book about a really fun dad. The family is white.
