Editorial Reviews

Product Description
In this pop-up pirate adventure, five pirates try to avoid being eaten by a shark when their ship springs a leak. They try to plug the hole with everything from the captain's coat to his rope, but in the end it's their smelly feet that turn the shark away. Each spread features a colorful, intricate pop-up designed by a master paper engineer, and the pop-ups grow more elaborate with each turn of the page.

About the Author
Ray Marshall began his paper-engineering career in 1980, and in 1985 he won England's Smarties Prize for Children's Books Award for Watch It Work: The Car. He lives with his wife and two daughters in San Francisco. The Castaway Pirates is his twenty-fifth book and the first one he has written.

Wilson Swain lives in Glendale, California. This is his first book.

5.0 out of 5 stars An eye-popping and hilarious pop-up book, May 27, 2008
By bigtimegeek (Jersey City, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
I've had this book at home now for a couple of weeks and it gets rave reviews from everyone in the family. Kids will be enthralled by the artwork and the clever storyline told in rhythmic fashion will leave them in stitches. And I should add it's really quite amusing for adults as well. The pop-ups are so jaw-droppingly elaborate and detailed I'm amazed every time I flip through the pages. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful book!, May 22, 2008
By K. Chamorro (Oakland, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Both my 7 year old daughter and 4 year old son love this book. It is now a regular feature in our nighttime reading routine! The pop-up illustrations are great. Our kids love the story as well - now any mention of "stinky toes" has them giggling!

My two-year old loves this book! Great pop-ups and story. If your child is into pirates, or not, get this book. My toddler loves reading this over and over again.
