Book Reviews of Shiver Me Letters: A Pirate ABC
Book Review: Our favorite alphabet book yet!
Summary: 5 Stars
Our two sons (5 and 2) absolutely love pirates, so we were immediately drawn to this book when we saw it. The whimsical pictures and interesting writing sold us on the book. It isn't written in your typical sing-songy alphabet book rhyme, although the rhyme and rhythm are still there. As parents, my husband and I love the way the kids have to "search" in the pictures to find the letters - for instance, the "S" is in the curve of the blade of a pirate sword and the "O" is a life preserver. Our 2 year old giggles every time we reach the ending (but I won't give that away!) You just can't go wrong with this book.Book Review: not just an alphabet book
Summary: 5 Stars
I really liked this story. My son, who doesn't really love books, asks me to read it again and again.
I enjoyed that it is an actual story and learning the alphabet is a side issue. So many alphabet books just plod through all the letters. In this story, a band of pirates set out to find the letters. It whips through the whole alphabet so nicely that you don't even notice that it is whole point of the book. Each letter is also "hidden" on the page.
A fun book, where you could briefly go over the whole alphabet every night for quite a while before it gets too old.
Book Review: So much fun!

This is an adorable and entertaining book! I did it as a read-aloud to my first grade class and they immediately asked me to read it again. Prior to reading, I asked them if they knew what Pirates said, and they all growled, "ARGH!" which was the perfect lead-in to this story..."R" said the pirate. "R's not enough! We need more letters to make us sound tough!" So the pirates go off in search of the entire alphabet. The pictures and rhyming text make it a very enjoyable story.Book Review: A new favorite

Shriver Me Letters has become a new favorite book for my 3 yearold grandson. He loves to find hidden objects in books and that is exctly what the kids do while reading this book. The pirate theme is also perfect at this time and the illustrations are very colorful and fun. We are very happy with our purchase and feel the price was within the normal range for a child's hardback book.Book Review: FUN and educational!!

We checked this book out at the library at first and my two-year old loved it so much..we decided to order our own copy. He loves to repeat what the pirates say and in the process is learning his ABCs. We read this book several times a day! He loves it and we don't even mind the repetition.
