Review:
Pirates drive buses by Christopher Morgan and Neil Curtis
Allen
and Unwin, 2007
Age (6-10) A sequel to Pirates eat Porridge, Pirates
drives Buses has the same kids in another strangely funny
situation, that of being picked up by a pirate who takes them on a bus
ride. The other passengers are an assortment of fishy animals and
together the occupants of the bus get up to an array of strange and
wonderful things. Searching for his ship, the SS You Beauty, the
pirate, who is never named, drives the bus straight into the sea.
Full of life and humour, this book, so beautifully illustrated by Neil
Curtis, will have kids laughing out loud. Aimed at the newly arrived
chapter book reader, kids will revel in the word concoctions and play
on words that litter every page.
