This was a great picture book all about the life of pirates.  The facts were interesting but not too scary for young readers and the illustrations were funny and full of rich detail and color.  There was a fold out page depicting a cut-away view of the interior of a pirate ship which students will really enjoy as well as a page with a pirate song, one with a pirate game, a quiz about pirate facts and a game to match pirates and their hats.  This exciting and interactive book is sure to be enjoyed by our elementary readers.
