I really enjoyed reading this book. I think that children would do the same. This book is an easy read and even younger children would love to hear it read aloud. I think it would be a good extension to a pirate unit. The way that the book is written, I feel, is what drew me in. This books gives you the introductory information, heightens the story line, gets your mind wondering, fixes the problems, and then finishes with a cute ending. I was surprised how into this little book I got. It did not take me long to finish the book but once I began it I could not put it down. I liked the idea of having actual information in it, to me this was a great plus because of the facts and the fiction. If I ever get the chance to complete a pirate unit in my classroom I can assure you that this book will definitely be a part. Even though the pirate unit may not happen I will still have the book in my classroom so my students can enjoy it.
