Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 1-Despite the prowling pirates that threaten the safety of Busytown Bay, Uncle Willy sails off, finds an island, and decides to take a nap before eating his pie. Soon, he is awakened by pirates and tossed overboard. After swimming to shore, he constructs a fake crocodile from plants and objects found on the island, crawls inside, and cleverly captures the villains. This adaptation of "Uncle Willy and the Pirates" from The Funniest Storybook Ever (Random, 1972) includes many of Scarry's well-known cat and mice characters. The bold-colored illustrations and a large typeface will contribute to the book's success with beginning readers.

THIS WAS A FUNNY FIRST READER AND YOU CAN'T HAVE TOO MANY OF,
By
This review is from: Richard Scarry's Pie Rats Ahoy! (Step-Into-Reading, Step 2) (Library Binding)
AMUSING FIRST READERS TO KEEP YOUR FIRST TIME READER AMUSED BY BOOKS. First, there are the great drawings by richard scarry...enough said...he's great. And the title is a pun on the word "pirates" oh by the way my son picked that up.....mom was a "duh" about that little pun. But it's a cute and funny book...and it's also about finding solutions which is really valuable since first readers are usually new to school and need to start learning how to find their own solutions for new situations.
