Alexandra Boiger.
Bad Bart and Mean Mo engage in a blustery battle of the sexes to determine who is the biggest and baddest. Readers fond of pirate language and lore should enjoy spirited read-alouds of the text (set in an appropriately named typeface "CC Treasure Trove"). The caricature illustrations imbue the stormy sea--and the stormy relationship--with just the right atmosphere.
