Review
The book’s information is divided up into different section, and each one focuses on an aspect of a pirate’s life. The information itself is scattered across two page spreads. The author uses cool drawings, fact bubbles and flaps with hidden tidbits to make this info not only easy to access but fun to read about as well. If you have a child that is interested in pirates they will love all pirate facts. Be aware that even though this book is made for children, it still mentions several of the horrible things pirates did. Unfortunately it uses the word “wench” when it refers to women which didn’t seem appropriate. For that reason I would think before I added it to a library collection.
Overall Book Score: good
