A quick overview of pirates. I learned a few things I didn't know such as that Sir Francis Drake was a pirate and that Julius Caesar was captured by pirates when he was young.

Includes an index and sources of further research in books, museums and videos.

Dakota loved this one. She wanted to draw all of the ships. I have to say these are great non fiction books with age appropriate information.
