Pirates features notorious buccaneers like Blackbeard, William Kidd, and Black Bart. Full-color illustrations and photographs taken at pirate festivals show pirate clothing, the parts of a ship, and what the pictures on flags and maps mean. Life and duties of the crew on a pirate ship are also revealed. Other topics include. - famous male and female pirates - a pirate's clothes - pirate activities and how to talk like a pirate - how ships were captured and how punishment was carried out
This book was great fun, and educational too. Very nice illustrations on every page, and nice ones too. Book tries to tell what a Pirates life was like in reality, at least the best way you can describe it to an elementary school student. That is the age this book fits best. Has a neat replica of the "Pirates Code of Conduct", which really is the warped honor among thieves rules they went by. Examples of real pirate flags. Briefly touches on a few famous real pirates too. If you like this one, check the other great book "Cowboys" from this series/publisher. It is even better than this one!
My 6 year old son absolutely loves this book!

PIRATES: A great book for young children !
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
The book, Pirates, is a great overveiw about the lives the pirates led. It has wonderful illustrations and kept the interest of my 5-year-old son. It has factual places, events, and pirates. Excellent for young children who have an interest in the robbers of the high seas. ()
