By Tom Lichtenheld (Hardcover Book, 2003)

There are lots of excuses for being a grump, and this book is full of em. But in this book, the things that make you grumpy can actually be funny. So be careful, or you'll end up laughing at your own grumpiness. And, as you'll soon find out, it's hard to be giggly and grumpy at the same time.

Everything I Know About Pirates*one of Newsweek's "Books of Wonder" for 2000:

"Will shiver the timbers and tickle the funny-bones of those salts, both young and old, with a penchant for silliness. * The jaunty cartoon illustrations raise the threshold for zaniness. Boisterous fun from fore to aft."
*Publishers Weekly

R "Lichtenheld's humor goes beyond his text to take up residence in his mixed-media cartoons, where captions and labeling act as punchlines for these silly sea-jokes, mad buccaneers, and piratical accoutrements."
*Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, recommended book

"Ingenious."
*Kirkus

"The tongue-in-cheek humor will appeal to those who like to be grossed out."
*School Library Journal

"Droll* funny* suitably exaggerated boy fantasy."
*Booklist

"Lichtenheld's hilarious illustrations and outrageous nonsense make for a delicious reading experience for swashbucklers of all ages."
