Second Grader Approved!!

Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2024

This book is a perfect “elementary series Book Two”. I thought it was adorable. Solid cast of characters, some moments that were funny, a fast pace, an adventurous plot, good themes. It was cute!!! (There were a couple of formatting typos/errors that the English teacher in me struggled to ignore) but, a great option for any kid in elementary school. I also thought the illustrations were super cute and added a little extra interest for everyone, myself included!

And that’s exactly why I am had some help from my second grader reading and reviewing this one. (He read it completely on his own aloud to me for several chapters with little difficulty as we took turns and read together!) He said:

“This was a good adventure! It was five stars because it was really funny. My favorite parts were when she was running from her own stomach growl. And when the monkey….whose name I can’t remember kissed Patrick on the head and then ran away. And Patrick was my favorite character. Yep. It was five stars. Can we go back and read the first one, too?”

Thank you DartFrog Books for putting this one on our radar!! #Middlegradereading #kidlit #Adventuresofkris

What a delightful story to read about a child's imaginary life while putting herself in the story.
This world be an ideal book for an elementary age read for either a girl or a boy.
There is some confusion about the boat that the sailors took ashore. A long boat left the ship, but then there's rowboat on the shore. There needs to be solidarity about this.

Fun Children's Story!

Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2024

5 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Kris & The Pirates is part of The Adventures of Kris series and what a delightful and fun read. This is a chapter book for ages 6-10 that is full of fun, adventure, sailors, pirates and animals. This story can be enjoyed even for the young at heart. I am already looking forward to more Adventures with Kris.

Kris is not loving the idea of having to go to a costume party....especially when it is in the month of March!! As her dad asks if she would like to dress up as a pirate..Kris only wants to be a knight. As she opens up her book to read and relax she is pulled into a story of sailing the high seas as a sailor. When Kris and her friend James spot land they want to explore and go swimming. When things do not go as planned and pirates take capture of all of Kris' sailor friends...she embarks on a journey of adventure trying to help free the sailors...meeting new animal friends and helps Kris think how they can help.... will Kris be able to free all her sailor friends from the pirates?

Definitely read and find out....such a fun read.

A Wonderful & Adventurous Chapter Book!

Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2024

This was such a delightful chapter book to read with both of my kiddos! I read it through once, and then we read it altogether. It felt like we were going on the adventure with Kris which was an absolute blast! My kids are 8 and 12 years old so they’re close to the target audience range. My 8-year-old has a bit of trouble getting through some chapter books as he loses interest quickly, but he stuck with this one and said the pictures were fun. We go on an adventurous journey through the high seas that have none other than dangerous pirates! Even though I am much older than who the author is aiming for, I truly enjoyed journeying with Kris. I highly recommend having this in your classroom or at home for the young ones in your life!

Kris...on another great adventure!

Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2024

This is one of several books in The Adventures of Kris series. I really enjoyed this book and will be recommending them to my son and his friends! A great chapter book for young elementary readers. The storyline was also really exciting, fun, and full of adventures. Kris is a great lead character and uses her imagination and her love of books to bring the reader along with her on some great adventures. I loved the connection with all the characters and animals in the story. This is a definite book recommendation for young readers. Well done!
