Readers would rather walk the plank than miss out on these two amazing 8x8 retellings of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest. Each book will retell a different portion of the story and will provide kids with action-packed scenes from the film. No young swashbuckler will want to be without his copy!

The Curse of Davy Jones,
By
This review is from: The Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest: Curse of Davy Jones (Paperback)
Disney created a number of books featuring photographs from the movie Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. These picture books are best for bedtime reading for young children. The books are loosely based on the movie and each tell a part of the story:Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest - The Curse of Davy Jones is a 24-page picture book zeroing in on Jack Sparrow's deal with Davy Jones. The agreement was that Jack could be the captain of his own ship, but in return Davy Jones would get Jack's soul. Now Davy Jones has come to collect Jack's soul but Jack's not ready to become one of Davy's crew. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest: Swann Song is a 24-page picture book telling the story of Elizabeth Swann. She wants to save Jack from Davy Jones, but she must escape the ship's crew and solve the mystery of the compass to do it. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest - The Chase Is on is a 32-page picture book featuring Jack Sparrow, Will Turner, and Elizabeth Swann. This is mostly about the famous race/chase between Jack Sparrow and Davy Jones. For older children who are reading on their own, their are much better Jack Sparrow stories to read. There's a fairly good junior novelization of the movie, and there are three Young Jack Sparrow books Jack Sparrow #1: The Coming Storm Jack Sparrow #2: The Siren Song Jack Sparrow #3: The Pirate Chase Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest is a great adventure story and recommended for anyone who loves pirates. For adventure lovers, I also recommend "The Kingdoms and the Elves of the Reaches" and "In the Service of Dragons."

An Animated Pirates,
By Bennet Pomerantz "Bennet Pomerantz, AUDIOWORLD" (College Park, Maryland) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE)
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (Disney Junior Graphic Novels) (Paperback)
When I was a child in the 1960's, there were movie comics made by Gold Key/Dell comics. Everything from The Beatles Yellow Submarine to the Dirty Dozen. Nowadays, most movie comics have disappeared from view. There may be a rare one like Superman Returns or Lost in Space.Disney Junior Graphic novels have done amazing short comic versions of films like Finding Nemo and the Lion King...Now they attacked with a comic book adapation of Dead Man's Chest...and they did good. NOTE this is not a picture book, like Tokyo Pop's cinemagna stuff. Note Tokyo Pop took a small part of Chest for their picture book of Pirates they did. This is a full adaptation of Dead Man's Chest. Disney also did not do an anime style book like the Disney Kingdom Hearts or Disney Princesses Graphic Novels. The art seems as if it was done for a European/Spanish graphic album (since movie adaptions of Disney films sell well overseas) because the art seems statted down to size. The paper stock seems high quality stock. In 48 pages, you have the adapted film in animated splendor...Jack Sparrow and crew have never looked better. However this graphic novel is only the adaptation of Dead Man's Chest and not the current film. so I can hope they will do comic versions of the first and third films. The price of this graphic novel is less than four dollars, an amazing value price for a graphic novel. This is usually a price for a regular comic with 17 pages of story. As I stated before, they use a higher quality paper stock and makes this book a keeper for children and collectors alike. Now if Disney would reprint a few of the Pirate stories that have run previously in Disney Adventures in a book similar to this...or could adapt a few of their classic films like Love Bug and Absent Minded Professor to this format... Or a comic album of some of their old movie Sunday strips..ah wishful thinking..DISNEY BOOKS are you listening?!?!? So get this comic gold, before it is sold out! Bennet Pomerantz AUDIOWORLD
