A story with a plucky heroine who outwits the barbaric pirates. Pirate Girl is a much welcome pirate story with girls and women characters and appealing illustrations. Daughter loves it! Great to pair with When I Became a Pirate and to use in school to balance boy-heavy Pirate units. Makes a great read a loud for the K-2 set.

I'm sure we don't ONLY love this book because we have our own Pirate Molly! What fun - a precocious but adorable little girl, a funny story, and a hilarious twist in the end. The pictures are great, too!

I loved this book. My daughter (3 years old) and I cannot read this at bedtime because we get to wound up when Mommy comes in to save the kid-napped Pirate Girl.

I love the fact that the girl uses her brains to save herself.

A simply wonderful story.

This is a Great book for everyone. Granddaughters, grandsons and the grandma's that read to them love it!
The story has a sense of humour that appeals the the reader and the listener and has some lessons to be learned too!

I am always looking for books that have girl heroes , Most books for toddlers are about boys doing great things. This book looked good but my 3 year old daughter did not even stay with it on the first read. I have already given it away.

We bought this book for our daughter age 6, she loves adventure books and this was very special because it shows courage and smarts by the little girl to come out from a bad situation, Love it.

This is the first picture book I've read in quite a while that made me laugh out loud. Who doesn't like it when the bad buys get it in the end? I loved the story line although the pictures were lacking. Great book to read aloud because it gives all kinds of ways to get creative with voices.

Pulls the rug out from under the assumption that all pirates are boys/men! Go, Pirate Girl!

As the father of two girls, I'm always glad to see a book that shows my girl that she can be powerful. Sadly, most of the messages she gets from popular culture teach her to objectify herself and buckle at the knees when a prince walks by. Pirate Girl offers a marvelous anecdote to the Barbie-nation. Pirate girl is a great protagonist, and she's backed up by a wonderful crew of women. The story is gripping and fun, and ends with love. My only reservation is that it comes close to endorsing violence--no need for that, even if it's coming from women for once. That caveat aside, this book is all about grrrl power, and that's a grrreat thing.

Little Molly is captured by pirates who want to demand ransom from her parents. Molly won't tell who they are, but while working hard as punishment, she manages to alert her mother who comes sailing in much to the horror of the bumbling pirate men. This is a cute little girl-power story with amusing illustrations, but beware of talk about partying and drinking rum, which, of course, is what pirates do besides looting.
