Never Ever Ever Ask a Pirate to a Party
‘Never Ever Ever Ask a Pirate to a Party’ is the perfect picture book for having a giggle and engaging children with the joy of a good book! Colourful fun illustrations make the perfect accompaniment to the lively text.
An increasingly bizarre array of guests arrive at a little girl’s birthday party. Although initially fun, their antics eventually lead to chaos and confusion, causing the little girl to send them all home! As each new arrival appears, the text follows a familiar pattern, perfect for encouraging listeners to join in- with plenty to laugh as they do! Children are sure to enjoy thinking of their own characters who might join the party- and the chaos they might cause! They might enjoy designing and writing their own invitations
The illustrations are wonderful- full of fun and details to notice! At the heart of the story is a message of real friendship. Having upset the little girl, her friends are quick to apologise and make amends whilst the little girl in turn realises the importance of having those friends around, despite the disarray and mayhem they caused!
This is the sort of book which would have had my son calling, ‘Again! Again!’ for another read the minute it was finished! It’s sure to become a firm favourite at home and at school!
