Book Reviews of How I Became a Pirate
Book Review: Two boys' review: A fun pirate story with only a couple minor flaws...
Summary: 4 Stars
Both of my young sons love pirate stories and they took to this one quickly, although the book needed some parental editing.
Two problems:
Jeremy Jacob takes off without telling his parents -- I reinforced with my kids that Jeremy shouldn't leave with the pirates without asking his mother or father.
The author perpetuates an unhealthy attitude towards children eating vegetables, with Jeremy happily announcing that he won't have to eat either spinach or carrots aboard the pirate ship.
One positive:
Jeremy Jacob comes to realize that living like as a pirate means there isn't someone to read him bedtime stories or hold him close when he is scared.
Overall, this is a fun bedtime book but be careful you're not teaching your children bad behaviors and habits along the way.
