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."

My daughter was thrilled with this book and others I have bought from Amazon. Great books for a great price. As described, no surprises. Will buy again.
Keep them coming.

Graphic! Exciting! Violent! Everything kids love and parents don't for their kids. This book borders occult and horror. It is these type of books that you wonder what teachers are thinking when they provide them for young children in school. Children from young ages are watching every type of R-rated violent horror movie, from Kindergarten on up. Teachers and principals need to help parents understand why this is not good. It can affect the mind and psychology of the child. Additionally, this is a PG13 rated book, if it were to be rated, it is taking them right up to the edge of harmful entertainment. So, I don't recommend this series, it is irresponsible marketing to young children, in my opinion, something Disney has been known for for decades.
