Arr! It's the first day of first grade, and it's all hands on deck for a young pirate and his crew. How much trouble can they get into? What will they do at recess? And, most important, what treasure awaits them at school?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This rambunctious first day tale is fit for any young buccaneer. Leading an imaginary crew who are drawn in pale pencil, the red-haired protagonist shines his snappers (brushes his teeth), breakfasts on grub and grog, and boards the great, grand jolly boat (also known as the school bus), journeying to meet his teacher: Silver was her name, and a fine old salt was she! The pirates are ever-present companions, sharing in the ups and downs of the day ( We counted and spelled till we nearly dropped, brain-addled and weary ). 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. Ages 3 6.
