Arrrgh! Me Hate To Wait! by Mary Bleckwehl – Review By: Jamie Burns

Arrrgh! Me Hate to Wait! By Evanson Bleckwehl is one of my all time favorite children’s books. This book is about how a pirate pig named Half-Pint Porky is in a rush to go up so she can attend Pearl of Pork Pirate School. I love all of the fun names for the characters and the language used throughout the book is right on hook (I mean point) with pirate speech. The illustrations that accompany the story are simply amazing creations by Gabby Correa. Gabby did a wonderful job ensuring that each illustration captured the essence of the story. This book is great for children who are impatient. You can have a little lesson about waiting and how waiting can sometimes be hard.
