Read for: Arrgust & Early Reader Challenge
Synopsis: "Ahoy, mateys . . . and mice! Riff Raff the Mouse Pirate is setting off on a treasure hunt with his cheese-loving crew, but before they can find the treasure, the bold swashbucklers must find the missing clue!
With colorful, detailed illustrations from Anne Kennedy and lively text from Susan Schade, Riff Raff the Mouse Piratestrengthens reading skills for beginning readers and young buccaneers. The mouse pirates use rhyming words to find their destinations, which help early readers recognize phonics sounds!"
My Review: I was on the hunt for some fun pirate books for Munchkin that he could read on his own but weren't to scary, Riff Raff really fit that bill. This was entertaining for both myself and Munchkin. It was easy enough for him to read mostly on his own with only a little assistance with some of the pirate terms (and what they meant). It had simple words and focused on a particular set of letters, but without sounding like teaching. The rhyming and repetition also really helped Munchkin gain confidence as the story went on. Parents will get a kick out of each of the mice being named after a type of cheese. This was a fun story to share and I hope to track down some more Riff Raff books.
My Rating: We both had a lot of fun with this book, it was quirky and fun but still easy enough for Munchkin to read mostly on his own. We give it a rating of Four Paws!
Good Night! Sweet Dreams!
