I received a sample for this review/feature. Opinions expressed are my own.
Shivers is a pirate that is pretty much afraid of everything. In the 2nd volume in the Shivers! chapter book series,?Shivers!: The Pirate Who’s Back in Bunny Slippers, is off on another adventure and this time he has to find pirate’s booty.
Shivers, the scaredy-est pirate to ever sail the Seven Seas, is back. Comic book?like illustrations in each chapter bring Shivers to life and invite even the most reluctant readers to join the adventure. Perfect for fans of such series as Stick Dog, Big Nate, Dork Diaries, and Diary of a Wimpy Kid.
This time, Shivers must set sail again to get his beloved ship, the Land Lady, back from Mayor Sheila B. President. Shivers won?t be going alone, however. He?ll be bringing his best pal, Margo, and his loyal fishmate, Albee, on a clingy-clam and hot dog filled adventure. Like all good pirates, Shivers will just have to grab his swimmies (and his bunny slippers) and jump right into this epic tale.
It is written by Annabeth Bondor-Stone and Connor White and illustrated by Anthony Holden. This chapter book series is for ages 8-12 and perfect for reluctant readers because the whole story line is funny, unique and enjoyable. Anyone (including adults) who reads will instantly fall in love with the characters and especially scaredy-cat Shivers. At the end of the first book Shivers said he was never gonna go on another adventure…just too scary! Of course things don’t go as planned and in this book his beloved ship is taken so he has to go on another (scary) adventure to get it back. I am certainly not one to pass up a pirate adventure and this one is the perfect amount silliness and pirateness to keep a child’s attention.
