“Yo ho ho…we’re so cool, we are pirates and we love school…”
Written by Corinne Demas ; Illustrated by John Manders
Every child should love to go to school, and this includes pirates. This is an adorable rhyming book that goes through the school day and at the end of the day, this is what they say, “Yo ho ho…we’re so cool, we are pirates and we love school…”

From the Publisher
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!”
Oh Josh, I am truly hoping you still have this picture book because it looks WONDERFUL. We love Pirates and when you add going to school. I really want it to read to the students.
Sorry, I don’t have a copy of this one.
The ones I have copies of are mostly the ones that I actually wrote the review for. In the summer I bought a bunch of picture books with leftover end-of-year money, and I also held some of the review books back to review myself, so that is where they are coming from. If the review is by someone else, in most cases they already got the copy.
This sounds like it would be a fun book to read to the lower grades.
