I thought it was a cute story but I don't know about reading it to kids. It is about a pirate that steals socks. At one part of the story it says "the pirates cursed and muttered. Then the moral at the end says older sisters will always tell you what to do. i think that it is not the best story for little kids.

People may think I'm taking this too seriously, or I'm too sensitive, and I'm okay with that. This IS a fun story. But I find the underwear bounty disturbing. Forcing someone else to give you their socks is one thing. Forcing someone to give you their underwear is a violation, and I have no desire to teach my children that it is appropriate, or that they have to go along with such a request. I also found the lesson about how mean big sisters are to be disturbing, since I was reading the book to my daughter who is a big sister to her little brother.

I so wish my storytime kids were old enough for this one. It's written all in cadence, which makes it a blast to read. It's hilarious, too, with an interesting character twist at the end. LOVE IT!

I loved this! Ultra-cute "true" stroy of Dirty Joe the Pirate who sails the seas in search of dirty socks. Dirty Joe is truly a terror everywhere he goes until he suddenly comes up against Stinky Annie and her band of one hundred women who sail in search of...underwear. Dirty Joe's crew is a bit afraid because as everyone knows, "you can't be a pirate without underwear." Will Stinky Annie make out with the boys' underwear? Or will Stinky Joe prevail with the girls' socks?
So so so so cute!! Rhyming silliness and fun illustrations make this a great read-aloud book. It's completely absurd, but in a terrific way. Loved it!

The rhyme was very clunky at times, and was a little strange about stealing people's underwear.

Dirty Joe is a pirate who sails the seven seas, attacking ships and stealing their stinky socks. He finally meets his match when he runs up against Stinky Annie and her crew of women pirates who steal underwear. It turns out that Annie is his older sister. She bests him in the fight and steals his underpants. The moral of the story? Older sisters will always tell you what to do.
My son liked this story, but it was a bit wordy for him. He was definitely squirming half way through.

Cute book ... not sure if I could read this one at school or not, it would depend on the group of kids and if they could handle the repeated references to underwear.

This is a funny book for kids and adults! I especially loved the fact that Dirty Joe has a cell phone.
