Book Synopsis

Dicen que el pirata Malacaca es huraño, aunque su verdadero problema es que no va al baño. Sus pedos son como una tormenta y él se muere de vergüenza.

Al pirata Malacaca se le escapan pedos a todas horas y, lo peor, en cualquier lugar. ¡Es un tormento! Sus piratas se ríen mucho y él está convencido de que es un pedorro sin remedio. Pero tiene una gran idea: poco a poco, empieza a utilizar sus ventosidades como arma en las batallas y tumba a cualquier adversario. Un buen día, conoce a Elsa Pelorrosa, la pirata más temida de los siete mares, quien le da un consejo... ¿Conseguirá Malacaca ir de nuevo al baño y dejar de ser un pirata huraño?

Un cuento rimado sobre un entrañable pirata que conseguirá hacernos reír a carcajadas.
