Review
"Monescillo's detailed and gently textured watercolors are full of insouciant pirate energy (Charlotte Jane's bravado is matched by that of her surly teddy bear, who wears an eye patch), and Wolfe's text has as much charm and verve as her heroine."and#8212;Publishers Weekly and#160; "[This] bedtime story is satisfying, and casting a little girl as a pirate is downright refreshing."and#8212;Kirkus Reviews and#160; and#160; "The use of dialogue and strong vocabulary results in a well-paced story that flows elegantly from beginning to end. The whimsical watercolor illustrationsand#8211;accompanied by digitally created textures to add depthand#8211;are captivating, and perfectly complement the text. A generous helping of humorously entertaining pirate speak makes this an enjoyable choice for readers and listeners alike."and#8212;School Library Journal
