5.0 out of 5 stars SO much fun! November 26, 2008

By Sarah Kid Kits

Format:Diary

I can't believe how much fun this book is! One of the children I babysit was given this book as a gift, and it was all I could do not to steal it away from him. I consequently bought my own copy to bring with me as an activity for the other children I babysit. Clever, cohesive, engaging, hilariously funny. I never laugh out loud when reading, but this little journal had me chuckling the whole way through! Also, and for me most importantly, it's a neat way to remind the little girls in your life that, unlike the 'Pirates of the Carribbean movies' seem to suggest, they can be swashbuckling pirates too. Five stARRRs!

A friend recommended this book for my granddaughter who loves Pirates since seeing Pirates of the Caribbean. This book is so much fun. It is a journal of becoming a Pirate that we do together. If you want to spend more time with your child, buy this book. It is so much fun for both you and your child.
