This book is about Pirates going to school. They do everything the pirate way. I think is a great example of diversity and how you can put your own twist to school activities. The pirates find out that they love school and they learn to clean up behind themselves. It is leveled 680 L.

For my money, the cleverest bit of this twist on Jack and the Beanstalk was the talking jukebox. Clearly addressing the adult reading the book aloud, the jukebox talks almost entirely in classic song lyrics. It's well-done. The illustrations are cute in a cartoonish way. I'll have to try it out on s...
