This book is chock full of beautiful pictures and offers a brief discussion on: What are pirates?, On the High Seas, A Pirate Ship, Life aboard a ship, Tools of the Trade, Barbary Pirates, The Spanish Main, Piracy in the Caribbean, African Coasts, The Orient, Pirate Women, Buried Treasure, Rules of the Game and Pirates of Today. The book also includes a short glossary of some of the terms used in the book.While the book itself is short (32 pages) it is well written and could certainly hold the attention of any person (young or old) with an interest in pirates. This particular book seems to be aimed at the 9-12 age group, but the pictures and text would keep them coming back to it again and again.
The Best Book of Pirates, is a very informational book without the bore. The pictures in the book are wonderful to look at, colorful, as well as, packed with labels. The pictures themselves are all labeled, from parts of a ship to pirate weapons. You name it this book has everything on pirates. I thought this book would be huge, in fact, its only 32 pages long, however, has all the information I needed to start my pirate study!
This is the kind of book that your child can treasure for years. The colorful illustrations are great for younger readers. My son is three and he brings me this book every night so I an read it to him. This is not a toddler's book, however. The brief text accompanying the graphics is historically accurate and informative and will enthrall older kids. The book traces the origins of piracy from the Greeks 2000 years ago to those of today. There are even two pages devoted to pirate women!
My grandson (almost 8) loved this book. He's a big pirate fan and loves learning everything there is to know about them. After getting a little help the first time thru, he was able to read it by himself.
This book has a lot of pirate pictures and facts. It has lots of very interesting facts and is more like a reference book. While I was expecting a storybook, this book is full of useful facts about pirates.
