                                                                                   PRAISE for the BOOK

PIrates and Spooks, Beware! is a collection of refreshingly fun, funny, and sometimes rascally poems, sure to delight elementary and middle school readers (and their teachers)!
                                          Pat Talbert Smith, Former Head of St. Francis Episcopal Day School (Potomac, MD)


Although the pirate saying, "dead men tell no tales" may be true, living poet Susan Weiner definitely tells tales of the dead and creepy.  Pirates and Spooks, Beware! is her collection of fifteen lively and spine-tingling poems. . .  Weiner sends readers sailing through the pages with her witty and wicked tummy-churning words.  Each poem is a tale in its own right, featuring dreaded pirates (some stinky and some who battle in ball gowns), alligators, mummies, ocean monsters, mermaids, a ghostly hitchhiker, and a vegetarian cannibal.  Bobbie Kogok's enigmatic illustrations draw from the text to add vibrancy and visual context. . .  This creative take on pirate lore will surely appeal to rascals and scallywags, who will enjoy attempting to keep a straight face while reading this suite of buoyant poetry.

Pirates and Spooks, Beware! will prove to be an immediate and enduringly popular addition to family, elementary school, and community poetry book collections for young readers.
                                           The Midwest Book Review

I recommend this book for anyone interested in the drama and pirates!
                                           Carol Parent, Learning specialist and Former School Administrator

In tackling pirates, Weiner. . .  went from writing whimsical and fantastic [to] drawing on history.
