No Pirates Allowed! Said Library Lou (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
Big Pete storms into the library and demands that a treasure map has led him to the library. While making noise and smelling really bad he catches the attention of Library Lou and she tells him that she will help him after he showers and cleans up. He returns and Library Lou teaches Big Pete a thing or two about how to behave in a library as well as how to read and where to find the treasure that has been hidden within.A really cute story but a little long for little kids. This would be great for kindergarten and school age kids that love picture book. For many, many, many years, Pirates have always followed the X to the buried treasure. Pete is a BIG PIRATE and along with his squawking parrot, Igor, they walk into Seabreezy Library to search for their loot. But, Library Lou stands up to Pete and his parrot. He must bathe and change his underwear before he can get help from Library Lou. When he's finally obeyed all the rules of the library, Library Lou teaches him that there are more letters than X in the alphabet.This book is a librarian's dream. It teaches the rules of the library, but with a pirate theme. Great story for a read aloud - if you can speak pirate. Definitely a keeper for class visits.

I'm rolling my eyes as hard as I can. Probably great for the intended age group.

Cute story, but too long for a preschool storytime.
