Pirate Bob

32 pp. | Charlesbridge | July, 2006 | Library ISBN 1-57091-595-4 $15.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by David Clark. Readers sail along with Pirate Bob and his greedy nose that itches for treasure as he waits for the next ship to plunder. Quirky characters (like Yellow Jack, a crewmate suffering from scurvy) and nautical terms are introduced but never developed in the book's sometimes disjointed text; however, silly full-page ink and watercolor illustrations help keep this book afloat.
