Customer Reviews

educational and fun!

This book was great fun, and educational too. Very nice illustrations on every page, and nice ones too. Book tries to tell what a Pirates life was like in reality, at least the best way you can describe it to an elementary school student. That is the age this book fits best. Has a neat replica of the "Pirates Code of Conduct", which really is the warped honor among thieves rules they went by. Examples of real pirate flags. Briefly touches on a few famous real pirates too. If you like this one, check the other great book "Cowboys" from this series/publisher. It is even better than this one!

My 6 year old son absolutely loves this book!

The book talks about actual pirates and their adventures. My 6 year old son absolutely loves it.

A Great Pirate Book

I am the mother of two boys ages 3 and 4. They love this book. The story and pictures keep their attention and this is the first book they often ask for. An easy read as a parent. An excellent buy.

PIRATES: A great book for young children !

The book, Pirates, is a great overveiw about the lives the pirates led. It has wonderful illustrations and kept the interest of my 5-year-old son. It has factual places, events, and pirates. Excellent for young children who have an interest in the robbers of the high seas. ()
