Pirates Don’t Go to School! cover

A humorous tale about a young pirate's anxiety about starting school, Pirates Don’t Go to School! reassures children about their first day.

In Pirates Don’t Go to School!, young Jake is excited about the prospect of attending school, but his family is less than enthusiastic. They believe that school is filled with strict rules and terrifying teachers, which terrifies Jake. The story unfolds with a humorous twist as Jake navigates his feelings about school and what it means to be a pirate. His family's fears lead to a comical exploration of the idea that pirates don't belong in a traditional classroom setting.

As Jake contemplates his decision, he begins to imagine what school would really be like for a pirate. Would he have to follow all the boring rules? Would he have to deal with a ten-legged teacher? The narrative cleverly addresses the common anxieties children feel about starting school, all while maintaining a lighthearted and entertaining tone. The illustrations and witty dialogue make the story engaging for young readers, allowing them to relate to Jake's journey.

Ultimately, Pirates Don’t Go to School! reassures children that school can be an adventure in its own right, filled with new friends and exciting experiences. The book encourages readers to embrace the unknown and find joy in learning, making it a delightful read for anyone facing the first day of school.
