Description
"You know all about pirates. They were big guys with fancy hats, silk jackets, peg legs, and parrots cursing on their shoulders. They sailed big ships with brass guns and made lubbers walk the plank ... right? Wrong ..." Pirates and piracy, buried treasure, and life on the high seas are brought to life in this colorful, appealing book. Jan Adkin's talent for combining words, illustration, and design is uniquely well-suited to the world of Pirates: ships and seafaring, maps, weapons, larger show more than life characters and larger than life stories are vividly presented in Jan's signature, design-driven style. This large format, full color picture book presents pirate history and pirate lore, pirate ships and equipment, and pirate life. show lessTags

A fun read, with a lot of new information about pirates, and a lot of things you thought you knew but are actually false. (There is no record of anyone ever walking the plank on a pirate ship!)
This book contains great detailed illustrations. Everything pirate related is found in this book, giving strong details and explanations to pirates, their ships, and more!
This book would be fun for an early reader 1-3rd graders. It is set up as an informational book; with pictures and facts throughout the pages.

A great book that tells the truth about pirates, but is still fun to read.
