This book is an excellent choice for a kid who can read, if only you could keep their attention long enough to want to know what the story is about. The adventure in this book, combined with sharp tongued characters and a really funny name - Captain _______ (Thought I was going to tell you? Buy the book!)

Sit down with your learning reader and have fun! A real winner.

I've loved this book I've been a little kid, sitting in my bed, dreaming of being a pirate of some form or fashion. This is a children's book meant for a mixed audience. This book packs in an adventure big enough to be enjoyable even for an adult who wouldn't be uncomfortable with such a book in his or her hands. The book maintains a set line of humor throughout so one doesn't have to worry about being too frightened by the "Pirate Ghost". The writing style is interesting enough, and the humorous pictures are very satisfying to look at with this pleasant tale of a pirate mystery.

This story was my young child's first introduction to mysteries, and I haven't stopped reading it yet. It captured his interest quickly and kept him spellbound until the very end when the mystery is solved (with no violence or explosive action scenes). He still requests it, even though he knows the outcome, because he loves both the story and the charming characters. We plan to purchase the remaining Otto and Uncle Tooth books soon and hope they are as entertaining as this one.

This book I thought was great. I would recommend this book to any kid that has a good imagination and that wants to know everything. This book would be great for kid imagination and would get it going because the book keeps you going until the end where it finally shows you the culprit. Let me tell you some about the book without ruining it for you. It's about this kid named Otto that has an uncle that has been around a lot and has been on lots of trips and adventures. Now this "ghost" has been on the run after stealing things from Boogle Bay. They had a plan to catch the ghost as they think it is but the play fails. After a bit they end up having another plan using a trumpet that uncle Tooth had given to Otto. To find out what happens next be sure to read this book its great. I thought it had good pictures and well written for kids.

I loved this book as a kid. I'm 27 today, and I don't smoke. However I do use the word "fool" quite often, so I guess this book damaged me forever. It was written before focus group idiots watered down everything. That was when cartoons were violent and funny. But focus groups saved us from that! Now instead of smoking kids of this new generation just mow each other down with machine guns in schools across the nation. Way to go focus groups!

this book was great. IT's got a good spooky feel to it. It was one of my favs as a kid.

I have such great memories reading this book when I was a kid and now I get to share this with my little ones. The book arrived in great condition and without having to wait a long time for it. Great buy to go along with great memories!!!!!

My 4-year old daughter liked this book when we read it the first time, but she never asked to read it again. It's not a bad book, but it never captivated my children.

charmingly drawn and reasonably well written, the book captures the attention and imagination of children in its intended age group. Only problem: children learning to read will expect you to read it to them over and over.

We liked the book, it was entertaining and easy to read, however I agree with another review posted earlier: book mentions cigar, smoking and beer.
I see that as a oportunity to talk with my kids about it.
