Book Description

Age Level: 5 and up | Series: Easy-to-Read, Puffin

Pirate Pete and Pirate Joe are two of the silliest pirates around. They are ready to do what pirates do. Or so they claim. Since neither likes to steal, how will they get breakfast? And where on Earth will they find a proper pirate's parrot? Every pirate needs a ship, but both Pirate Pete and Pirate Joe are a little bit afraid-of the water. Join these two pirates in their hilarious adventures. They may not be fearless, but they always have fun.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 2-3-Three lightly amusing, easy-to-read short stories introduce two pirates with "stinky feet." In the first selection, readers are told where the buccaneers live; that they are not very ferocious, even when hungry; and that they have a cat, Studley, and a dog, Dudley. In the second tale, they realize that they don't have a ship. Unfortunately, after they find one for sale, they discover that they are afraid of the water and buy the captain's van instead, with "PIRATES 'R' US" on the front. In the last story, they convince themselves that they need a parrot. At the pet shop, one bird sings opera, another speaks three languages, but it is Bucko that wins their heart because he only says, "Yo ho!" Smith's cartoonlike color illustrations complement the zany adventures, and the compact text has just enough repetition for beginning readers, who will enjoy these charming protagonists.

This review is from: On the Go With Pirate Pete and Pirate Joe (Easy-to-Read, Puffin) (Paperback)

My kids love this book. They are not ready to read it themselves, but they have enjoyed it being read to them. They are four and five years old. They find this book very funny, especially as the characters are pirates afraid of the water, driving a van instead of a ship and with pets that make fun of their efforts. My kids picked up phrases from this book and they quote it often. This is a great book for small children.

Great book, cute humor, perfect choice for anyone who loves pirate stories. My 6 years old son loves it. He read the entire book by himself. I'm looking forward to get him other series. I give it 5 stars!!
