Jake and the Neverland Pirates: X Marks the Croc!

Fans of the Jake and the Neverland Pirates will enjoy this book based on the episode “Rock the Croc”.  The book version is filled with one rebus ( in which the word is written below in a very small font) of a noun on almost every line throughout the book. There are, also,seven side questions, such as “Can you help Jake spot the crocodile?” (11), throughout the book.

Jake and his pirate friends Cubby and Izzy find a map for Pirates’ Plunge , a waterslide, floating inside a bottle. When Hook tries to take the map from them, the bottle flies through the air. Croc swallows it.  What follows is Hook always trying to outdo Jake, Cubby, and Izzy’s attempts to retrieve the bottle from Croc. First, they try to tickle Croc to make him sneeze the bottle with the map out, then they try to get Croc to burp it out. Finally, Hook accidentally steps on a log, resting upon another log like a teeter-totter, Croc catapults Hook through the air. Croc laughs so hard “the bottle with the map flies out of the Croc’s mouth.” (29)

Off Jake, Cubby, and Izzy go to Pirates’ Plunge for some waterslide fun, too bad Hook is stuck up in a tree.
