In love

I LOVE this book! The rhyming lines are so funny and the story line is not what you would expect! Such a cute and quirky book. I would definitely recommend!

A Must Have

We borrow this book from the library when my son was 2 years old and had to buy it because he loved it so much. It has a nice rhyme and rhyme to it and it just SO silly. He doesn't have an older sister but for anyone who does I would recommend it even more.

This will delight kids and parents both lots of laughs & giggles

This is a delightful and very funny story line that rhymes in a great story telling way(I usually don't like books that rhyme but emphasis is on story instead of what words rhyme)-kids and parents will enjoys reading this story together! Be ready to read over and over with lots of giggles and laughs!!! One of the best books I've ordered-it is a jewel in any child's library! Savanna

Great book!

We are big Bill Harley fans! We were familiar with this tale through Bill's grammy winning CD. The book and illustrations definitely do it justice!

Dirty Joe, the Pirate: A True Story

Loved this book. Purchased after reading at the library. When is the last time you read a children's book with the word "pilfered" in it?

Dirty Joe the Pirate

Our three year old grandchild loves pirates so I was looking quickly for something somewhat age appropriate. Later I read the book through and loved the rhythm and rhyme and the joke at the end., Since she is an older sister to a younger brother the book is perfect. I'm buying another for my other older sister grandkid. The illustrations are fun and I think adults will enjoy reading this aloud.
