Amazon Description
The team that created The Little Red Hen (Makes a Pizza) is back with another insouciant takeoff and hilarious read-aloud, this time a freespirited invention around a favorite children’s rhyme: This little pirate spied the island.This little pirate saw the rocks.This little pirate dropped the anchor.And this little pirate found the box.Trouble is, another band of pirates is approaching from the island’s other side! Battle ensues—until, completely pooped, the two crews decide to cooperate. When they discover the box is filled with goodies . . . it’s party time! Amy Walrod’s amazingly intricate cut-paper piggies and Philemon Sturges’s zestful rhymes are pure pleasure for the preschool set.One Potato Review
Here’s an idea for a fourth, or fifth, or sixth birthday party (and you can probably resume when you’re in your twenties): a small patch of sand and a chest to bicker over and bash open (like a pinata) full of drums and toy trumpets and cake-baking kits and fancy balloons and alternative hats for when you need to take a break from all the skull and bones nonsense, which is what this all is: exuberant, a little testy sometimes, and likely to send you to bed early after the inevitable sugar high.
