The Pirates Next Door: Starring the Jolley-Rogers by Jonny Duddle

5.0

What a great story and great illustrations to look at! The story is about a pirate family that moves into a nice neighborhood. The existing neighbors don't take kindly to the new neighbors... they look different, they smell different and they act different. But the little girl in the story likes that... she is ready for a change. And she's ready to look past their differences to become friends. A good message for young readers! But the pirates are not meant to be landlubbers and they soon push off to sea, but not without leaving behind a little treasure for everyone. Young readers will enjoy this rhyming story. Boys will love the illustrations, especially those of the pirates. A fun read for all young ones!
