Pirates Go to School
A funny rhyming story about the silly things pirates do when they go to school.
Pirates and their parrots go to school, and it's time to hang up their swords and have fun. They learn reading and math, and they bring pirate treasure for show-and-tell. For pirates, going to school is as much fun as a game of "walk the plank"!

I bought this book at our school's book fair this year and was not disappointed! I will definitely be reading this one in my future classrooms to come because no matter how old, students need a good reminder about good classroom behavior. Pirates Go to School has to be one of the cutest back to school books in the last ten years! This adorable picture book shows children just what pirates do when they go to school. Only they might not be the most welcome visitors. Pirates snore at nap time, swea...more
This is a fun rhyme book about what it is like for pirates to go to school. They take their parrots to school with them and the parrots constantly mimic what the pirates say. The other students like the pirates and think they are cool but the pirates are rambunctious, smelly, and use skills to help them learn math! Even though the pirate kids seem so different they really are very similar to the other kids. The pirates go to school and take part in normal, everyday activities. They love show and...more
Pirates Go To School is an absolutely adorable rhyme book about what a pirate looks like going to school. When pirates walk into school, they greet their teacher...and so does their parrot. They hang their book bags and swords on the coatrack, and then they are seated for math where they count skulls! Warning: do no sit too close to pirates! They smell like rotten fish! Pirates paint cannonballs and bring cool, old stuff to show-and-tell. They even snore at naptime! At recess, they play walk the...more
Who would have ever thought pirates would like to go to school. They themselves sing, "Yo ho ho, we are so cool. We are pirates and we love school." I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed this book, as did my kids. It's a fun read with rhyming words and great illustrations. I'm a fan of any book that is not only hilarious, but one that receives a lot non stop laughs from my kids. Best of all, these pirates are FUN, enjoy learning and will make your kids wish they could go to school w...more
This is a fun, rhyming tale about young pirates going to school. The story is more of a short ditty and the illustrations are very colorful and entertaining. This book is probably best suited for young children who are just beginning school. It was a bit young for our girls, but we enjoyed reading it together anyway.
This was a cute, fantastical book that young students enjoy thoroughly. It is filled with school humor, led by a band of pirates thirsting for educational knowledge. The outcome of course is funny, and kids have a great time seeing what mischief the pirates will get into next during their school day.
This book is very funny and I really enjoyed it. Unfortunately I had to explain some parts to my students because they just did not get it. It is probably not a good first week of school book, but one I will try again after they have had more exposure to English.
This is a fun book that shows lots of things that kindergarteners do at school. The situations are humorous and there is plenty for the reader to point out in addition to what is including in the rhyming text. Very fun. I purchased this for my grandson's birthday.
This one is pretty fun, and a good read-aloud book, what with the pirate talk and parrot repeats. Great illustrations as well, and the text has a nice rhythm to it. There's definitely some humor here, as well as a message that school can be pretty fun.
Super cute read aloud with brightly colored fun illustrations. Elementary kids of all ages will love this book. Teachers and librarians could enjoy a great q&a with the kids after sharing. Questions such as "Would you think it would be fun to attend school with a pirate?" "Do you think their parrots would be a distraction?" The possibilities are endless!
Might be fun beginning of school year (particularly K or preschool). Could pair with other John Manders, Henry. I didn't love it like I did The Perfect Nest, but kids seem to enjoy Pirates.
I would share this during a story time about pirates for sure, especially with primary school children. A litte gimmicky, but with hilarious illustrations and nice rhyming scheme.
A great rhyming story about pirates who go to school. Cute, pirate-y elements presented in a kid friendly way. Appropriate for the youngest pirate enthusiasts.
Short rhymy text describing how pirates react to activities in school. Great illustrations. Smaller amount of text should be good for little kids story time.
Argh! Even pirates need to go to school. Why? How else will they learn geography, navigation, and counting (comes in handy when tallying up the loot)?
It is such a cute picture book! I loved it!
It made me wish I could teach pirates argggghhhh!
Next year, just maybe my kids will get a surprise!

Yo ho ho! This tale is sure to please, as readers laugh at the zany things that the pirates do. The perfect book to get a child excited about going back to school.
Pirates Go to School was a fun rhyming book that my nephew loved, especially since he loves pirates!

A rhyming story about pirates being able to attend school. My kids thought it was funny.
Nothing special, but still a nice, fun, quick read for pirate or school themed storytime.
Read this to my kids in honor of International Talk like a Pirate Day.
Loved this book. The illustrations were amazing. It is a rhyming tale. The story is shows the difference to what an average student goes at school, and how a pirate student goes at school.
This book had a cute story line about school. Great to read to kids for fun!
funny story with a positive message about school and learning.
