EXCELLENT PRODUCT AND SERVICE December 16, 2008
Ordering was simple and I received my product on time. The book is great and my nephew will love it! I would buy from this seller again!!
This be a good book you scurvy Pirate! November 29, 2008
This is a must-have for all you scurvy pirate dogs out there. It's chocked full of cool things that are part of the book, but not just printed on the pages. Like hidden treasure maps, a bag of gold dust, letters from pirates that are in compartments which are secured by tied yarn strings attached within its pages and a real working compass built into the cover. Not to mention lots of cool pirate pictures and stories written in the book itself. Our 3 year old loves it, she is into pirates, but must be supervised when "reading" it. Would be very cool for older kids who can read and love Pirateology.
 Two boys' review: This book doubles as a treasure chest July 27, 2008
Secret pouches, treasure gems, letters, pirate flags...lots of fun!
We bought this for our young children (5-year old and 4-year old) as they were excited by the Pirates of the Caribbean movie trilogy.
We bought this book along with Pirates by John Matthews last year. We take the books off the shelf every couple months and read through them for bedtime. The books will stay in our collection for years to come.
This book helps introduce a large amount of new vocabulary but, more importantly, covers so much ground that it acts as a fantastic springboard to further study history or science.
Pirateology, Arrrrggh... May 29, 2008
Avast thar ye bilge rat, I thumbed through this yar book at thee "Pirates of the Caribbean" shop in Disneyworld and me thinks, "I gots to get me one of these treasures". Knowings thats Amazon can beat prices like a full broadside I waited and ordered online once I got home, saving about ten dollars. This book is amazing with all kinds of stories, pictures, and facts. Aye, Ye kids may be setting up a pirate camp once they reads it. This will entertain ye kids five to one hundred and five. If you or anyone you know thinks pirates are interesting, cool, or scalliwags of the Earth, be sure to get them this here book matey. I highly recommend this yar book for ye piratical family types especially.
My 6-year old godson loves it April 3, 2008
it's a great book, filled with all kinds of pirate facts, legends, stories, and "artifacts" . My godson got a real kick out of it. He loves pirates and the book is written as if first-hand by a privateer (a pirate commissioned by the government to hunt down enemy state vessels, and rogue pirate ships).
This book will definitely be one he enjoys for many years. Some of the subject matter is just within his attention level and understanding, but the more intricate details and artifacts will prove fun discoveries as he gets older and has the patience to read over each part carefully. i'm a big fan of the whole series.
