A quick-witted shrimp saves his friends from the pirates' cooking pot in this hilarious undersea caper about friendship, tolerance ... and CLEANING! Scrubadub the Shrimp LOVES to clean.

But when the seafood friends are scooped from the sea by hungry pirates, only Scrubadub can save them from the stew pot ... using his super cleaning powers! This funny and engaging story will encourage even the messiest children to tidy up! Shortlisted for the Stockport Children's Book Awards.
