Waaaaaaaaaaah...bukunya keren, gak nyesel nih ngoprek-ngoprek Syl buat nganterin ke Penthouse Radal...Bener kata Syl direviewnya, baca buku ini asyik banget...selain gambar-gambarnya yang keren ada notes yang diselipin juga, favoriteku sih yang di Captain's Cabin, mantaffffs...belum gambar Kapal bajak Laut dijelasin dengan detail, juga gambar-gambar bajak laut yang jauh dari Guanteng...hehehehe. Serem-serem...tapi ada juga yang Modis kayak si Black Bart.

Buku ini bisa dibilang biografi singkat dari para bajak laut. Ada 13 bajak laut yang dikupas habis disini. Mulai dari cerita tentang asal mula mereka menjalani karir sebagai bajak laut, hingga fakta-fakta lain yang menyangkut para bajak laut tersebut.
Mereka termasuk bajak laut yang kejam, tegaan, dan pintar. Malah salah satunya adalah perempuan. Namanya Charlotte de Berry. Awal mula dia jadi bajak laut adalah ketika dia berumur 18 tahun dia jatuh cinta pada seorang pelaut. Kisahnya lumayan seru...more

Interesting book about real-life pirates, including facts and informations about pirates.
Let's begin the review with One Piece the Japanese manga and anime. Why? Because I think Eichiro Oda sensei is a fan of pirate world as well and I assumed he creates characters based on real-life pirates captain which some of them mentioned in this book
1. Bellamy "The Hyena" [One Piece] created based on Samuel Bellamy a.k.a Black Sam
2. Marshall D. Teach [One Piece] from Edward Teach; both use Blackbeard as n...more

It may only be thirty-two pages long, but PIRATES MOST WANTED is an in-depth, exciting look into the life and times of thirteen pirates - not to mention three "cruel and unnatural women."
From Blackbeard (otherwise known as Edward Teach) to William Kidd (a pirate who wasn't actually a very successful, well, pirate), pertinent facts, historical dates, and interesting pieces of information can be found about the lives of these men and women who sailed the high se...more

No glossary, No Table of contents but there is an index. This book is for more advanced readers...teacher lead read aloud in k-2. This book gives a detailed account of pirate life and pirate ships. It gives different types of ships and different kinds of flags. Interactive text with lots of pull outs. Covers most subtopics… including different pirates and fictional pirates. Also has a time line.
I saw the cover and immediately snapped this up from the bargain books section. Filled with fun tidbits about ships and weapons, small biographies of historical pirates, and copies of articles of piracy/privateering, this was quite fun to read. A pop-up book for adults!
A fun book for young readers, this profusely illustrated book in Authentium's Book for Young Readers line is historically accurate. I even found a little treasure in the book myself, a bit of arcane history from the 1700s!
my kids really liked this book - it has lots of interesting info as well as fun things to pull out or unfold - like treasure maps! I actually read it myself -liked the stuff about the girl pirates! :)
A great interactive book! Covers just about ever possible sub-topic incudes a timeline and glossary but no index or table of contents. Pullouts increase knowledge and are not just for looks.
If the cover of this book doesn't draw you in, maybe the interactive stuff on the inside would. Jerry Bruckheimer said "A wonderful book for all who love pirates".
This interactive book teaches you about pirates. While some of it is a little gory (what? Pirates weren't nice?) it is really interesting. It includes pirate history through the ages. How they've been portrayed in film, etc. I really love all of the little things it includes like a little book within the book of weaponry, one on pirate...more

Tells of the 13 most "wanted" pirates. Had very interesting information about different pirates including some I didn't know much about.
its fun to see what different pirates did. one of them actually held church meetings every sunday on his ship.
Cool book, but really easy for little kids to mess up!
penasaran ama buku ini deh..
