A Pirate's Life for Me! A Day Aboard a Pirate Ship

by Brownie Macintosh, Julie Thompson, Patrick O'Brien (Illustrator)

Ahoy, matey! Did you ever wonder what life was like on a pirate ship? Join this pirate crew for a day and see for yourself. Hoist the Jolly Roger as the pirates prepare to attack a merchant ship and you'll earn a share of the loot. Sing a sea chantey as you help wind the capstan. And after you climb down the ratlines from the crow's nest, you can feast on salmagundi. From Spanish galleons to stinkpots, from treasure maps to desert islands, for a pirate it's all in a day's work!

I think this book will be a good one for students to learn about pirates. A lot of information in this book and it was fun to read about them. At the end of the book, they talk about famous real and fictional pirates of the past.

[sincerely]

Realistic and informational without being gory

Just a day in the life type thing. Great art. Want book that mentions Calico Jack gets bonus points from me.

[Sarah · Rating 4 out of 5]

Disturbingly realistic--pirates drowning and getting eaten by sharks left and right, death, mayhem--our kind of book!
