The Best Book of Pirates September 1, 2008
Susan Phillips (Portland, Oregon)
My grandson (almost 8) loved this book. He's a big pirate fan and loves learning everything there is to know about them. After getting a little help the first time thru, he was able to read it by himself.
Lots of Info! Argh! August 22, 2006

8 out of 8 found this review helpful
This book is chock full of beautiful pictures and offers a brief discussion on: What are pirates?, On the High Seas, A Pirate Ship, Life aboard a ship, Tools of the Trade, Barbary Pirates, The Spanish Main, Piracy in the Caribbean, African Coasts, The Orient, Pirate Women, Buried Treasure, Rules of the Game and Pirates of Today. The book also includes a short glossary of some of the terms used in the book.
While the book itself is short (32 pages) it is well written and could certainly hold the attention of any person (young or old) with an interest in pirates. This particular book seems to be aimed at the 9-12 age group, but the pictures and text would keep them coming back to it again and again.
