When Pirate Pete and Pirate Joe decide to go disco bowling, they bring Pirate Queen, their mother, along for their crazy adventure, in an easy-to-read tale with full-color illustrations.
My name is Ann Edwards ("A. E.") Cannon, and I write books for young readers, as well as a weekly column for the Deseret News. I also teach creative writing and work as a bookseller at the famous King's English Bookshop in Salt Lake City. My husband, Ken, and I have five (count 'em) sons, two daughters-in-law, no grandchildren (not yet, anyway) two parakeets, one parrot, two cats, and two dogs. One of the dogs weighs (no kidding) 160 pounds.
This was a fun read along that I feel many kids would enjoy. I had fun reading this story and would like to incorporate it within my classroom library someday.
Thankfully someone wrote pirate-themed early readers. They aren't awesome, but they make a nice change from precious pets. Ninjas would be good. Anything with violence or bodily fluids, really.
