The book, Pirates, is a great overveiw about the lives the pirates led. It has wonderful illustrations and kept the interest of my 5-year-old son. It has factual places, events, and pirates. Excellent for young children who have an interest in the robbers of the high seas. ()

This book was great fun, and educational too. Very nice illustrations on every page, and nice ones too. Book tries to tell what a Pirates life was like in reality, at least the best way you can describe it to an elementary school student. That is the age this book fits best. Has a neat replica of the "Pirates Code of Conduct", which really is the warped honor among thieves rules they went by. Examples of real pirate flags. Briefly touches on a few famous real pirates too.

If you like this one, check the other great book "Cowboys" from this series/publisher. It is even better than this one!

The book talks about actual pirates and their adventures. My 6 year old son absolutely loves it.

I am the mother of two boys ages 3 and 4. They love this book. The story and pictures keep their attention and this is the first book they often ask for. An easy read as a parent. An excellent buy.

The child I bought this for loved it! I would buy it again and recommend.

This book is filled with photographs of children in pirate gear. It explains all about pirate life including their ships, their food, and their activities. It has a nice page that illustrates how to make a pirate map including the different symbols commonly used by pirates. It also explains the different flag symbols. The illustrations are a bit weak, so I wouldn't consider it a good picture book, but it does share useful information for pirate activities. I recommend it for elementary students between second and fourth grades, and for parents and teachers planning pirate activities.
