It’s not every day that a pirate – and his talking penguin – show up at the front door! But that’s exactly what happens when Wilson’s long-lost uncle comes to live with his family. Desperate Evil Wicked Bob and his sidekick, Captain Jack, are not ordinary houseguests. They’re not ordinary anything. Uncle Pirate is having a spot of trouble adjusting to life on land.
