This book is fantastic!! My grandson loves pirates and this book is very fun to read. He kept asking us to read this every bedtime for a month. He was memorizing the parts and saying the pirate phrases while playing! Well written. Highly recommend!

Love, love love the story. Illustrations and rhymes really capture my little one's attention. Nonetheless, I'm greatly disappointed with the quality of the book itself. I realize board books are better for toddlers, but I expected more durability from a hardcover. A few other cons: the pages rip easily, the colors are a bit muted (not vibrant like shown on the cover), and the book is so thin it might be mistaken for a greeting card. I still recommend it for the great, catchy story though.
