Pirate Treasure Hunt!

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Adrian Tans. Captain Dare invites landlubbers to join his pirate crew. The text, modeled on the interactive "Going on a Bear Hunt" chant, includes bold-type lines for readers to repeat ("If ye wanna go, say 'Aye, aye, Captain'"). The pirates' discovery--a "treasure load of books"--will blindside readers with its reading-is-fun message, but the bouncy rhythm and humorous illustrations maintain a lively mood.
