"OH, NO," SAID HEIDI. "IT'S THAT PIRATE AGAIN." IT SURE IS. Newly-independent readers will welcome the pirate's return.
Billy and Heidi were walking to school when they heard the strangest sound. An odd bus stopped beside them, the door clattered open, and out leaped the pirate. “Great claws of crab! Didn’t you get my letter? I told you I was coming.” “A letter?” said Billy. “When did you send it?” “Ten minutes ago,” said the pirate. “Not to worryyou’re here now. And so am I. Now HURRY up!” In the pirate’s second visit (a follow up to Pirates Eat Porridge about which Kirkus said: ‘Fans of Lane Smith and Jon Scieszka will find lots to laugh at here.”), readers will happily jump in and join this outrageous bus tour.
Gr 2-4- Billy and Heidi are on their way to school when their old friend from Pirates Eat Porridge (Roaring Brook, 2007) pulls up in a big yellow school bus loaded with assorted sea creatures-and one pig dressed as a parrot. The pirate demands that the kids come with him to find his missing ship, the S.S. You Beauty , stolen by a villainous crew of monkey-crabs. They overtake the swiped schooner, but are seriously outnumbered by the criminal crabs. It's up to Billy and Heidi to figure out a way to get the ship back-preferably in time to get back to school. The frenetic action bounces breathlessly from one crazy event and weird setting to another, with little regard for logic or coherent plotting. The off-the-wall nonsensical dialogue is fun for a while, but quickly becomes overwhelming. Although transition readers may be attracted by the pirate theme and the wildly exaggerated black-and-white cartoon illustrations, this story is more silly than seaworthy.-Elaine E.
