What we have here is a failure to communicate
PIRATES VS. COWBOYS by Aaron Reynolds with illustrations by David Barneda. Knopf, 2013.
When pirates hit land searching for a place to bury some excess treasure, they encounter some problems. It seems they have ended up in a cowboy town and since the two groups speak such different languages communication is garbled. Thankfully, there is a solution on the horizon in the form of one Pegleg Highnoon. Soon Black Bob McKraw and Burnt Beard are no longer at odds with one another.
