- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A wonderful children's story. Great for introducing your child to the wonders of first grade. I enjoyed reading it aloud in a pirate voice, and my son laughed and laughed. Now I have to get the Guide to Recess too.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5The pirate gets tiresome.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I think this is a fun pirate readaloud, if you don't mind having to explain some of the words to the younger set. Yarrr, mateys!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Synopsis: Arr! It’s the first day of first grade, and it’s all hands on deck for a young pirate and his crew. How much trouble can they get into? What will they do at recess? And, most important, what treasure awaits them at school?Though the illustrations are beautifully done and children are sure to enjoy the contrast between what the pirates are doing and what the boy and his classmates are doing, I’m not convinced this book is a success for its targeted audience. The text is rather challenging for K-2nd and may require some interpretation from adults so that the young reader can successfully follow the story. However, it would be a great read aloud for Talk like a Pirate Day.Though the targeted audience is K-2nd (specifically 1st grade), my recommendation would be for 4th grade and up.
