Together with their faithful parrot, Squawk, Captain and Matey sing and dance, rescue a stranded pirate, and hunt for buried treasure, in an easy-to-read swashbuckling adventure. Jr Lib Guild.

Reviews

K-Gr 3-This appealing easy-reader offers a high-seas adventure and themes of friendship and individuality. Captain is quite concerned with proper pirate behavior, while Matey is more of a gentle soul. This unlikely pair disagree on everything from their new parrot's name to which tune to sing during deck-swabbing. However, they always manage to find a compromise. They rescue an intimidating, tattooed fellow, who irritates Captain and impresses Matey with his superior display of pirate skills. Upon his departure, the visitor leaves them a treasure map, which leads to another argument about what they'll do with the spoils. Captain wants a bigger sailing ship, while Matey dreams of a cottage by the sea. Is this the end of their pirating days? Friendship wins out in this charming tale. Mu-oz's cartoons depict two typical, though far-from-fierce-looking pirates. They are particularly amusing when contrasted with their big, burly visitor.

Gr. K-2. Lighthearted quarrel stories are fun, and new readers will enjoy the slapstick and the standoffs in this simple chapter book that reads like TV comedy. Captain and Matey are two pirates who get angry at each other and make a lot of noise. What will they name their parrot? What will they do with the treasure when they find it? Of course, they turn out to be gentle enemies who are best friends. Munoz's pastel-and-black-line cartoon illustrations capture the boisterous action of the silly outlaws and the bond between them. A lively new entry in the I Can Read Book series. Hazel Rochman
