How I Became a Pirate Melinda Long David Shannon 9780152018481 Books

I have to admit that despite my inability to do a great "Pirate" impression, my son really gets into this book. At three, almost four years old, he can almost read along to it!

It could be the pictures, the appeal to young boys, or the simple yet great writing... either way, it is a huge hit in our house. And the best part is, I enjoy reading it to him!

If I had three thumbs, it would be three thumbs up! AARGH!

How I Became a Pirate Melinda Long David Shannon 9780152018481 Books Reviews

I purchased this book for my 2-year old daughter because we live in a Pirate loving house. (Our dog's name is Pirate.) I find this story adorable, but I think the illustrations are a little scary for my daughter which is why she isn't in love with this book. The story isn't scary at all, but being that the main characters are Pirates, they are a little rough looking to a little girl. I would recommend buying this book for a child older than 2 because you will enjoy reading it them as an adult.
It's hard to say what's more endearing and fun the engaging text or the clever (and amazingly detailed) illustrations. Most children's books are OK, a few are totally lame, but a very few are simply super and do not fade even with the 100th re-reading this is one of those that stays funny and will be handed down from boy to boy in this family. Can't say enough about the illustrations, there's so much to look for the pirate who wears TWO eyepatches (and is always holding one up except when he goes to bed), the other mean pirate who wears pajamas, the way the parrot and the scurvy cat eye eachother with suspicion, the wild look on the boy Jeremy Jacob's face (it's a true to life wild look of a real boy!). Anyway, this is highly recommended.
Great Story, great art, great colors. Any adult who has spent time on the beach as a child will immediately identify
with the boy in this story.
It's very much fun to read aloud; you get to talk like a Pirate. AYE, A Pirate !

The art work adds much to the story and when you stop reading to show the pictures, don't be surprised if the child wants to linger on the page or better, start acting it out.

Oh ! Perfect ending, boy standing on the beach, alone, watching the pirate ship sail away. The wind is pushing the Jolly Roger against the boys back.
I bought this for my 3 1/2 year old grandson and he loved it. Whenever Grammy comes to visit I try to have scoured for what look like the best children's books and as he had loved David Shannon's books I bought this one as I knew the illustrations would be colorful. It is a fun story but the best part, it lends itself so well to playing imaginatively. Immediately after reading it, we went outside and I played cartographer helping my grandson draw our own treasure map with instructions how to get to the tree in his backyard where we buried a seashell. He was so excited to show his Mommy and his baby brother how well the map worked and where our treasure was buried. Great little story and we read it several times over the next few days...always noticing something else in the pictures we hadn't seen before and then making up our own stories about what we saw. So I bought "Pirates Don't Change Diapers" also and pirate tattoos to continue the saga. Lots of scope for the imagination here!
This was a cute little book, and my boys (4, and 2) really liked it. I got the book to celebrate talking like a pirate day, and it was fun to read it using pirate voices. The little boy in the book takes the reader on a journey of what he did with the pirates, and how he left with them, and then later came back home. This story continues in the book "Pirates Don't Change Diapers." Which is also a cute story.
Very funny book. Bought it for a 5 yr old girl who liked it so much we bought Pirates Don't Change Diapers next. We both laugh when we read this one as it has humor for all ages. Very enjoyable book, you should buy it!
I've probably read this book a few hundred times between my 2 kids. Both of them loved it, and I often suggested it. It's one of those few kids books that you can tolerate and enjoy a few hundred times, until you don't really need to look at the words anymore. I found it to be an amusing story with an charming ending that values parents. The drawings weren't my favorite but they've grown on me after time. I'm reviewing this now, years after my children have outgrown it, so I can buy it for my niece and nephew. Worth every penny.
Great book, my 3 year old son LOVED it! We borrow it from the local library first and he loved it so much we had to buy him his own copy. Highly recommended! If this review was helpful for you, please click the button below. Thanks!
