Fun for Moms and Kids July 5, 2009

The MC's mom is hypnotized into believing she is a pirate (at her son's request) then the hypnotist has to run to meet his laboring wife at the hospital without snapping her out of it. Among the many events that they have to get through before they track down the magician is a PTA meeting. As a mom this book was worth it just for that scene.
It is not a super easy read, but not too hard. Solid early to mid first grade, the sentence structure is a bit more complex than in the lvl 1 & 2 books in the same series. Since the MC is a boy, my daughter didn't enjoy this one as much as I did, but we had a few laughs. Perfect book for a pirate-loving little boy.

My four year old daughter thoroughly enjoyed this early reader book. She thought it was silly and fun to see a mom become a pirate. She wanted to share this book so much that we purchased a copy for each of her preschool classmates. A book that can keep the young listener's attention as well as be a fun-to-read early reader book.

Our family loves "Pirate Mom"! The appeal of a Mom being a pirate and the role switches in the book is great reading for young children. We bought copies for all of our grandchildren and others in our family. It's fun to listen to the giggles and see the their smiles as they're reading "Pirate Mom", a book they can read themselves. As a retired elementary teacher I'd love to see it in all the schools!

Deborah Underwood's "Pirate Mom" is a hilarious romp about a boy who has to deal with his mom after she is hypnotized into thinking she is a pirate. The parent-child role reversal is sure to delight children, and the easy-to-read format builds a beginning reader's confidence. Highly recommended.

The story is fresh and unpredictable, the illustrations are amusing, and the tension builds until the boy, Pete, resolves the problem the grownups caused. Go Pete!
