Bookroo's summary

A ship's crew encounters a grumpy kraken, a sickly sea serpent, and a tearful tortoise, each threatening to swamp their vessel. With quick thinking and sea shanties, they serve pancakes, mop brows, and share umbrellas to calm the creatures. But what happens when the sailors reach their limit? Dive into this whimsical tale of mythical challenges and musical solutions, and discover if the crew can keep their ship afloat amidst the chaos.

From the publisher

What do you do with a grumpy kraken, a sickly sea serpent, and a tearful gigantic tortoise? You sing them a tune, of course! Following the sea shanty rhyme of What Do You Do With . . ., a ship’s crew of sailors has to contend with a coterie of mythical sea creatures, all demanding comfort and attention. As each creature threatens to swamp the ship, the quick-thinking crew knows just what to do to save the day, from serving pancakes to mopping a sweaty forehead to sharing an umbrella to keep the rain away. But what happens when the sailors have had enough? Back matter includes information about the sea creatures featured, music and lyrics, along with a brief history of sea shanties.
