Grab your peg leg and your parrot—and don’t forget the underpants! This wacky picture book pairs pirates and underwear in an uproarious adventure.
These pirates SO love underpants,
They’re on a special quest
To find the fabled Pants of Gold,
For the Captain’s treasure chest.
This laugh-out-loud Underpants adventure is full of pirates, sharks, and treasure. You’ll be yo-ho-ho-ing with hilarity until the pirates conclude their zany expedition!
From School Library Journal
PreS-Gr 2–The search is on for the treasured Pants of Gold–gold underpants, that is. The pirates of the Black Bloomer are off to find the fabled undies. They land on a small island, but other pirates have already found the treasure. Never fear, “The captain has a cunning plan./It's clever! It's fantastic!/Grab their fancy underpants and…/CUT through the elastic!” Rhymed stanzas tell this silly story, which will elicit giggles from young listeners and readers. The bright cartoon illustrations–which are filled with funny underwear and a variety of pirates, including one female–make this title a storytime treat. Libraries with pirate fans will want to add this one because children always find underpants funny.–Angela J. Reynolds, Annapolis Valley Regional Library, Bridgetown, NS, Canadaα(c) Copyright 2013.

From Booklist
After giving us Aliens Love Underpants (2007) and Dinosaurs Love Underpants (2010), Freedman and Cort’s next underpants-themed tale involves pirates in search of the “fabled Pants of Gold.” Preschoolers with a penchant for underfashion will be drawn in by the ample plot and colorful pages full of sharks, caves, plenty of underpants, and a cheerful pirate crew on their way to certain fortune over rope bridges, through caves, and past all manner of creatures (in underpants). Freedman’s silly tale of hidden treasure, competing pirate crews, and ankle-trapping elasticless underpants is well matched by Cort’s cartoon illustrations, featuring colorful bloomers, boxers, and briefs as well as lots of classic pirate sights, like peg legs, treasure maps, eye patches, squawking parrots, and barrels of booty. And, in the midst of all the boisterous fun, there’s a good lesson, too: don’t wear underpants lacking sound elastic to keep them on just right. Try this with Mary Elise Monsell and Lynn Munsinger’s silly animals in Underwear! (1998) or Robert Stanek’s Pirates Stole My Booty! (2011). Preschool-Grade 2. --Francisca Goldsmith
