Sophie Blackall’s delightful picture book *Ahoy!*
The *real* muse: the legendary Chips Ahoy! cookies.
Prologue
Ahoy there, landlubbers! Our magazine’s name is proudly lifted from Sophie Blackall’s delightful picture book *Ahoy!*, where a pint-sized captain and her long-suffering parent (demoted to first mate) sail the seven seas… without ever leaving the couch. Pure imagination, zero sea sickness. Brilliant, right? But let’s be honest, mates the *real* muse was sitting in the pantry, smirking at us from a bright blue box: the legendary Ahoy! cookies. You know those chocolate-chip treasure troves that practically demand you read the back of the pack while cramming three in your mouth. Ingredients, jokes, tiny comics… suddenly you’re literate *and* slightly sick from overeating. Genius marketing. So here we are, shamelessly stealing the name because, like those glorious cookies, we believe everything’s better when you actually “read the fine print” or in our case, BOOKS!. Grab your telescope (or just open your eyes), because this magazine is one tasty voyage you don’t need a single crumb to enjoy. Fair winds and happy reading! Ahoy, Reader! Your voyage begins now. Try not to get crumbs on the page. P.S.: Some sweeeet treats await at the end of the magazine so Flip to page TWO to get closer to the treats.
Your slightly sugar-high editors
Difficult words:
Ahoy: (informal) a call used to greet someone or draw attention to something from a distance.
Landlubbers: Us! people unfamiliar with the sea or sailing.
