Official synopsis Publisher
Captain Buckleboots on the Naughty Step is all about learning to say sorry.
The naughty step is the place where Sam has to go when he has done something he knows he really shouldn’t have. There is nothing to do there except think, and normally he has the step all to himself. Then one day someone else sits down bedside him. It’s Captain Buckleboots – a pirate who has been very very naughty indeed and needs some help to work out how to say sorry.

Tom lives in Devon with his wife, two sons and a scruffy cat.
