This review is from: BLOODTHIRSTY PIRATES, Wise Guides (Discovery Kids Pocket Guides) (Mass Market Paperback)

This short (only 32 pages) and well illustrated book provides an incredible wealth of detail about pirates. The book briefly discusses such famous pirates as Blackbeard, Henry Avery, and William Kidd. The book gives a brief history about pirates and it discusses famous women pirates, the reasons why people became pirates, different types of pirate flags, usual pirate possessions, pirate punishments, famous movie pirates, and the differences between pirates of the past and modern day pirates. The book has lots of photographs and illustrations and contains many interesting facts. For example, pirates rarely made anyone walk the plank and instead perfered to throw people down onto the deck from high off the rigging. This is a great little book to give to anyone interested in pirates as well as a useful tool for anyone interesting in learning about pirates.
