Editorial Reviews

School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 2

Captain Dare issues an irresistible offer: "Wanted: Pirates/No experience or bath needed." Through call-and-response chants, readers join the motley crew members as they search for buried loot. "Going on a treasure hunt./Going on a treasure hunt./Searching for the pirate's cave./Searching for the pirate's cave./We're so smart./We're so smart./And we're so brave./And we're so brave." The quest continues through lagoons, across snake pits, and over cliffs. The text appears inside a weathered parchment scroll. A tiny mouse scares the Captain and starts the trek back to the safety of the ship. Tan's detailed oil paintings show two pajama-clad children navigating the crocodile-infested waters and swinging through the jungle vines with their mates. The treasure inside the chest is revealed to be "a load of books!" The "key to opening ye treasure" is "Reading, me hearties!" Peppered with lots of "Arrrrrrrhs!" and "Shiver me timbers!" this is a swashbuckling good read-aloud.-Linda Ludke, London Public Library, Ontario, Canada
