Book Review: How I Became a Pirate
Summary: 5 Stars
I work as a voluntary reader for four 2nd grade classes. At Christmas I give each class a book as a present and try to get something different for them. In 2006, I got them this book.
The kids loved it. It's short enough that they don't get bored, easy to read - and the illustrations are great. The subject matter has a few good lessons in it for the kids - though it is NOT preachy.
My compliments to the authors and illustrator.
Book Review: How I Became a Pirate
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful book. I bought it for my daughter, who is a first grade teacher, to read to her class. They all enjoyed the book very much, in fact several of the children have this book at home they told her. The illustrations are terrific and the story is just perfect for little kids. If you have little chldren they would love this story, or try buying it for your child's classroom, the teachers can always use another good book for the classroom!Book Review: Perfect gift for pirate lovers!
Summary: 5 Stars
My son just received this for his 3rd birthday. We had a pirate theme party, so this was a perfect gift. He requests this book EVERY day (sometimes even twice on the same day). It's a super cute story with wonderfully charming pictures to go with it. I really don't mind reading this over and over------neither does my husband. It has some great messages in the story that are very subtle. Now I want to get the sequel---Pirates Don't Change Diapers.Book Review: Now Everyone Wants to be a Pirate!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have to admit that despite my inability to do a great "Pirate" impression, my son really gets into this book. At three, almost four years old, he can almost read along to it!
It could be the pictures, the appeal to young boys, or the simple yet great writing... either way, it is a huge hit in our house. And the best part is, I enjoy reading it to him!
If I had three thumbs, it would be three thumbs up! AARGH!
Book Review: Best Pirate Book
Summary: 5 Stars
2 boys at home almost 4y and just 2y. They love pirates and this is the best pirate book I have found (and we have several) My opinion on other pirate books. Pirate Pete 2.5 ; Everything I know About Pirates (would be better for older kids) 3.5; Pirate School 4; Do Pirates Take Baths 4.5; Pirates (by Anastasio) not a story, just "facts" 4.5. But How I Became a Pirate is the most fun to read aloud.
