"Gunnufson delights in language, both Prince’s high-falutin’ royal speak and Pirate’s down-and-dirty buccaneer-inflected growl. Lowery endows his flippered foes with enough humor and heart to sink an ocean liner."
- Kirkus, starred review
"Big personalities and their respectively gruff and highbrow comments will make for peppy readalouds."
- Publishers Weekly
"Prince’s proper, snooty vernacular hilariously contrasts with Pirate’s raw, salty language. At first glance, this is pure silliness, but a tidy lesson about sharing will rise to the surface."

Take a good look at the picture. See anything fishy?
