Reviews

Grade 1-2–Pirate Joe is sad because everyone, including the Pirate Queen and Mailman Brad, has forgotten his birthday. He does receive a letter from his aunt and uncle, the Rodeo Queen and Cowpoke Carl, asking for help in finding their sons who are missing. Pirate Joe and his brother, Pirate Pete, immediately head out West to track down their cousins. They get a map to Tumbleweed Ted's Rude Dudes' Dude Ranch, located on the top of Old Smokey mountain. Upon arriving, their cousins, family members, and the rude dudes surprise them with a birthday party. As in Let the Good Times Roll with Pirate Pete and Pirate Joe (Viking, 2004), there are plenty of silly characters and wordplay and an abundance of references that boys may find amusing. However, beginning readers may prefer Melinda Long's more straightforward How I Became a Pirate (Harcourt, 2003) with David Shannon's hilarious illustrations, or Robert Priest's spare, boldly illustrated, wryly humorous Pirate's Eye (Houghton, 2005).–Laura Scott, Farmington Community Library, MI
