Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Bantam. 1991. Tr $9.99. pap. $3.50. PreSchool-Grade 3-- Lion and Lamb's friendship continues as the focal point in this third book about the duo. Primary graders will have no trouble identifying with lamb when she is excluded from the ``Members Only'' club, has to baby-sit for her little sister, and is sad when Lion moves. Degen's pen-and-watercolor illustrations create a sense of warmth and add details that reinforce the text and the humor of the three episodes. Hooks's Lo-Jack and the Pirates is highly reminiscent of Peggy Parish's ``Amelia Bedelia'' series (HarperCollins). When Jack is kidnapped by pirates, confusion abounds due to his literal interpretation of their words and phrases. The bold and zany pen-and-ink and watercolor cartoons are key to understanding Jack's mis understandings. However, neither the text nor the illustrations are enough to put Lo-Jack in the same league as Amelia Bedelia. --Gale W. Sherman, Pocatello Public Library, ID

From Kirkus Reviews
A ``Bank Street Ready-to-Read'' (Level 3) that combines the Amelia Bedelia variety of comic literal-mindedness and an adventure story with a satisfying final twist. Hijacked by pirates, ``Lo-Jack'' alternately amuses and dumbfounds his captors by misconstruing their orders (whether to ``hit the deck,'' ``weigh the anchor,'' or ``cut the sails''), finally escaping by--instead of firing a cannon at their assailants- -lighting a fire under it and thus blowing up the pirates' ship. Good fun, ably visualized in Tusa's energetic art. (Easy reader. 5-9) -- Copyright ©1991, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.
