Cuando la familia pirata Jolley-Rogers se muda a Villasosa de la Ribera, empiezan a correr rumores sobre su extraño comportamiento en todo el vecindario. Pero Matilda, como tiene pocos amigos con los que jugar, espera con anhelo conocer a sus fascinantes nuevos vecinos

Grades 1-3: Pirate fans will enjoy this story of Matilda, who lives in a small town where nothing exciting ever happens... at least not until the Jolley-Rogers family moves in next door. Suddenly, life is full of adventure, thanks largely to Jim Lad, who sports no shoes and an eye patch, and is accompanied by a wooden-legged dog. The grown-ups in town are not so keen on the new neighbors: they dress funny, they smell bad, and they don't even try to keep their front yard looking neat. Before the town council can take action, though, the Jolley-Rogers' ship has sailed off in search of more adventure, and they've left behind enough treasure for the townsfolks that the grown-ups suddenly realize how much they liked the pirate family after all. Children will realize how hypocritical the non-pirate adults in the story are, but their main focus will be on all the cool piratey details in the digitally-rendered illustrations and on the jaunty (if sometimes clumsy) rhythmic text.

Nicely rhyming text, pirate problems, forgiveness in the end. ( )

I really enjoyed reading this book. It is easy to follow the fact that it has its own melody makes it easy to read.
I liked the fact that when a new kid comes into town with his family of pirates only the neighbor girl welcomes him and his family everyone else in town want them to leave that is until they leave town and leave treasures for everyone in the town!!!! Then the people in town misses them and really like them ( )
