PreS-Gr 2—The pirates of the Dragonfish of Doom discover that their coffers are empty, necessitating a new quest for doubloons and other plundered goods. Cap'n Bones assures his men that he has an authentic treasure map and has charted a course to bring them to new spoils. They face dangers sharks and sea monsters, mermaids and storms, but the salty dogs prevail and find the treasure. When one of their crew suggests, "Let's buy lace britches—we've oodles of riches—and start our lives anew," they pledge en masse that they are "Pirates of the Sea!" Told in pirate-speak and rhyme, the story is somewhat hard to follow due to the sheer number of named characters (23) and action that takes place at a breakneck pace. However, the rich digital artwork in deep hues will draw readers in and audiences are likely to exclaim over comedic details like the pirate's teeth as well as their facial expressions.—Stacy Dillon, LREI, New York City
