Predictable. And it bugged me that he kept using "me" in place of "I". Yes, pirates say "me" in place of "my," but I think that otherwise they use the correct pronouns.

What a cute book! Turns reading into an adventure for a reader at any level! Also serves as an instructional aid for how to act in the library.

Library Lou stands up to Big Pete the Pirate in some fantastic illustrations and fun story about what real treasure is. It's a bit too long for my preschoolers, but it's so much fun I'll probably just pick a spread or two to skip and read it to them anyway. I think they'll love the concept of a pirate in the library.

I hate when people portray librarians as sweater-wearing, bun-styling, cat-glasses-wearing, shushers, but this book added in a strong personality, desire to help others, and an unwilling-to-back-down attitude that made me forgive the stereotype. Library Lou teaches Big Pirate Pete how to read and shows him the real treasure in this world: stories!

A bit too long for a preschool storytime, but cut out a few pages and you're ok.
