Do Pirates Take Baths?

This was for my grandaughters, 2 and 4, and they loved it. We read it every night for a week and it's still one of their favorite picks.

Here's the REAL deal about pirates!

Oh, I love it when we get to read this book! (Yes, *sigh* our daughter IS the one who gets to choose) Learn the real deal about pirates, it's all in here, and it's hilarious! You'll find out lots of very good information like: what pirates do, wear, eat and wish for. How do they capture a ship or most importantly -how do they divide the gold? Do they have birthdays and where do they sleep? Fun and silly! I do love this book! The illustrations are awesome.

Silly book great for kids.

Just loved this book, it was silly and thoroughly enjoyed by our 4 year old. He was quite amuzed at the ending!

Yes, but they don't use soap!

What a great book! My 2 1/2 year old son loves the rhyming text, the fun pictures, and was particularly interested in what pirates dream of! Of course, parents must put on their salty drawl to make the book even more fun, Matey! A great addition to a child's book collection.

Pirates take baths when they smell very bad!

This bright and cheery book about pirates is hilarious. Bright and cheery describes a pirate's life? Yes, as you read how pirates work, if they have pets, and what they dream about plus the answer to many more questions you haven't thought of before. The illustrations are full of life and the rhyming descriptions are a lot of fun. "Do Pirates Have Birthdays? Of course they do--with presents and games and lots of soda pop. The cook makes a cake with doubloons inside and a skull-and-bones on top." Of course the cake is bright pink with a happy skull and bones on top. In the background pirates play pin-the-tail-on-the-whale and eat ice cream by the scoopful. Loads of fun!
