Pirates Go to School

32 pp. | Scholastic/Orchard | July, 2011 | Trade ISBN 978-0-545-20629-7 $16.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by John Manders. Rhyming text describes how pirates add up skulls in math class, swear on the playground ("Aargh!"), and attempt mutiny at school before settling down for storytime. Watercolor, gouache, and colored-pencil illustrations show the pirates as eager students who just can't contain their enthusiasm. There's humor to be found in the premise, but it's a little less uproarious than advertised.
