 Great book - BUT - Not really for smaller kids March 16, 2007
We really liked the "You Wouldn't Want To Be..." series so we bought this book (and the Columbus one). Although the information in here is very interesting, I don't think it is appropriate for smaller kids as there are a number of pictures of pirates being hung or corpses in crow's cages, and the like. Remember, all the information in here is real life - not just cutesy stories - so if your child is easily freightened by graphic (although comic-style) pictures, try something else.
 A very fun and exciting history lesson August 10, 2003

This book was very interesting. It showed what might happen to you if you were captured by Pirates. I thought it was very realistic, and it was so exciting you didn't know you were really learning. I would read it again and again. But I thought it was a little easy to read, and too short. But overall I liked it...
a LOT
