BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ESSENTIAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: MANY
A lonely pirate is desperate for a friend. A bird lands on his boat. Could it be a parrot? It is black and white and looks an awful lot like a penguin. Hilarity ensues as the pirate tries to get the penguin to act like a parrot.
This is the best picture book that I have read in a long time! The plot is so funny and entertaining. The pictures tell their own story as well. My only concern would be that a lot of longer words are used in the text. Younger students may not be able to pick up on the meaning using inference. Would be a super fun read aloud! The pirate is presumably white.
