I don't know what it is but lately when we have gone to the library we have been drawn to pirate books. There is something about swashbucklin' pirates that is fun. So if over the next little bit you seem to only see pirate books, sorry about that. We will try to branch out.
Big Pirate Pete bursts into Seabreezy Library looking as scary as he smells. He says his treasure map shows that X marks the spot there and he demands to have the treasure. It is up to Library Lou to make big Pete less loud and smelly and help him find the treasure that the library has within.
My Thoughts
This was a great book. It was funny for both kids and adults. Anything with pirates and dirty underwear is going to be a hit. I liked how the pirate said "Letters?...Thar be more than X?" Classic.
I thought it was a very clever at showing children that there are lots of different kinds of books. Showcased were rhyming books, easy reading, classics and non-ficiton. It broadens the children's horizons in a very fun way. It shows the value of having different kinds of books in their lives.
The rhyming pattern of this books fits the story so well. I am always in awe of authors who are able to tell a great story through a poem. That talent just astounds me.
I think your kids will love this and have a great time laughing and learning with Big Pirate Pete and Library Lou.
