This was a lovely little picture book, chock full of interesting information and neat accessories, including a Jolly Roger flag. Though designed for children, it would be suitable for adults too due to the wealth of information it contains on pirates. For instance, until I read this I had no idea a pirate ship was such a democratic place. Highly recommended, especially for school libraries -- though the aforementioned accessories will be hard to keep track of.
This pop-up book is about a little girl at school on Show and Tell day. She described her Grandpa and told all her classmates that he was a pirate. No one believed her until they all saw her Grandpa on his pirate ship!

I thought this was a cute book and it had great illustrations as well as pop-ups! I bought this book for a little girl who is four! She has Show and Tell days all the time at school.

I would incorporate this book into my classroom by having a Show and Tell day. At the end of the show more book, the classroom takes a field trip so I would also try to have a field trip the day of Show and Tell. show less
I disliked this person from the start. I never finished the book. I do not see that just because he is famous he has tips to live by nor did I run across any useful tips in the part I did read.
This tells the story of the famous pirate attacking the Queen's royal navy and anything that gets in its way. It also gives a back story of Edward Teach before he became the Blackbeard.
