Book Reviews of How I Became a Pirate
Book Review: great fun
Summary: 5 Stars
Jeremy, probably feeling a little neglected on the beach, goes off with a band of pirates. He feels his parents won't mind as as long as he is back in time for soccer practice the next day. Initially, he finds this adventure to be exciting, liberating and great fun. Soon he realizes a pirate's life is not exactly ideal. There's no tucking in, no books, and no goodnight kisses! Of course, a storm must swoop down on the ship and the treasure is in peril. Jeremy has the ideal solution, which you'll love. This is a truly fun book for children ages 4-9. My students really enjoy this as a read aloud and then being able to revisit it on their own.
Book Review: Best Little Boys Book
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book for my 3 y.o. son this past February. It has by far become not only his favorite book but the favorite book of my five year old daughter. They love screaming the words of the crew when we read this book together. The story line is wonderful - a small boy who joins a crew of pirates, learns what he likes and doesn't like about the pirates, lots of exciting adventures, a shark, a bad storm, and a treasure to bury. It's precious, and the illustrations are superb. This is perhaps the best little boys book I have ever bought (I should know - I'm a kid's book junkie), and it's a great book for little girls as well.Book Review: A Family Favorite
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't noramlly buy children's books. But after checking this one out from the library, then missing it when it was returned, I bought it for my four-year-old son. Not only does he love it, but his two-year old sister loves it (and so do Mom and Dad!). The Pirates aren't scary, the pictures are great, and it's so fun to read! My kids love to shout along with the pirate crew. They look for the scraggly cat (he's only on the boat) and the parrot. They want me to read it every night, and I gladly do. We are perfecting our pirate voices. This book is a treasure -- but I wouldn't dare bury it in my back yard!Book Review: A good fun story for little kids
Summary: 5 Stars
This story reminds me of either the reenactor friends I had when I was a kid, or being out at the hunting camp when I was a teenager. The humor is great. The characters are almost like members of my family! The rant on disliking vegetables, well, if you look at most of the food pirates ate, it`s not that far off.
My little 4 year old boy who is nuts about pirates and 18th century stuff insists I read this to him before he goes to bed!
It`s a great bedtime story, and will help young children to be interested in having a story before sleeping. I`ll have to get the sequel for his birthday!
Book Review: My son's favorite book (right now).
Summary: 5 Stars
We are big fans of David Shannon's books and my son loves pirates. We already had How I Became a Pirate when we came across this book at our local bookstore. I couldn't stop laughing when we read this book. Neither could my son. We had to read the book 5 times the first day (so far the only down side of this book is how often I am asked to read it). My son loves to repeat the lines from the book ("No sitting on Babies!") and laugh hysterically afterward. A great kids story and fun for the adults who have the opportunity to read the book to a loved one.
