Pirates Drive Buses, by Christopher Morgan


Illustrated by Neil Curtis
Rating: Marginal
Roaring Brook Press, 2007, $15.95
ISBN: 978-1596433137
Age/Grade Level: 1st and 2nd grades



The illustration on the front of the book gave me great hope. However, as I started reading it, I was disappointed. The story was nonsensical, but the illustrations are great. I think 1st and 2nd graders might like the nonsense of this short book, but I didn't.
