About this title

Synopsis:

A Pirate's Guide to First Grade AHOY MATEYS! The first day of first grade is FUN for a boy accompanied by a band of pirates.

Review:

"Kids will love the contrast between the antics of the imaginary pirates and the regular school-day routine." --"Scripps Howard News Service"

* "This rambunctious first day tale is fit for any young buccaneer. . . . Preller's buoyant pirate-inflected storytelling and Ruth's illustrations, which have a decidedly vintage flair, form an exuberant tribute to imagination and a spirit of adventure." --"Publishers Weekly, " starred review

"Young would-be buccaneers facing their own first-day jitters will enjoy this droll title, which ends with a cheer for libraries. A great choice for sharing on September 19, International Talk Like a Pirate Day." --"Booklist"

* "The illustrations have a vintage feel, complete with boisterous grog-drinking, scabbard-waving, and bubble-pipe-smoking pirates. . . . A tremendous read-aloud, especially on Talk Like a Pirate Day." --"School Library Journal," starred review

"Pirate-addled readers will dance a jig; press-ganged kids will be happy for the glossary. Good fun, me hearties." --"Kirkus Reviews"

Praise for James Preller's "Mighty Casey"

"It's a cute story with comic illustrations showing all manner of lame behavior by the Dogs during the game, including a kid who falls asleep, one who climbs a tree and another who pees on the fence." --"San Francisco Chronicle"

"With engaging read-aloud rhythms and a misfit cast young children will cheer for, this story is assured a place in (Little League) baseball lore." --"Booklist"

"Reworking Ernest Thayer's poem "Casey at the Bat" for Little Leaguers, Preller and Cordell knock out a spirited celebration of a team with the right attitude, if not skills. . . . Set against ample white space, Cordell's endearingly geeky kids take center stage (mid-game distractions include tree-climbing, a bee sting and a bathroom break on the left field fence). It's hard to envision a reader who won't take to these underdogs." --"Publishers Weekly"

"The ink and watercolorn
