Book Reviews of Night Pirates

Book Review: Love this book!
Summary: 5 Stars

I recently stumbled across this book at the library and borrowed it since my 4-year old son loves anything pirate-related. He now insists on reading it every night, sometimes more often! He loves that the little girl pirates steal the front of the house, how the little boy gets to join the little girl pirates on their adventure, how the kids steal the treasure from the grown-ups, how the grown-ups are afraid of the kids, how the captain of the grown-ups shouts the curse, "If you don't give us back our treasure, I'll tell my Mommy!" and how the little girl pirates don't put the front of the house back on correctly. He gets the biggest kick out of those last 2 parts!

As a parent, I like how the words flow so smoothly, how easy it is for my son to follow and how it encourages him to use his imagination. I did have to give him the warning after reading it before bed that there were to be no pirate adventures for him that night since he needed his sleep! LOL!

I highly recommend this book for other preschoolers!

Summary of Night Pirates

A perfectly pitched, irresistibly charming read-aloud picture book for the youngest pirate enthusiasts!

"Down, down, down the dark, dark street they came. Up, up, up the dark, dark house they climbed. Stealthy as shadows, quiet as mice. Only the moon was watching when they arrived. Only the moon was watching when they left. Only the moon & one little boy."

Tom is awoken by a band of rough, tough little girl pirates, so what does he do? He joins their ranks! Together they set sail in search of treasure. But what will happen when they meet a crew of rough, tough grown-up pirates? Readers will be swept up in the spare, jaunty text, & quirky illustrations in this unexpected bedtime adventure.
