Pirate School

This is a very enjoyable pirate story for beginning readers or for us parents to read to our kids. It is about kids of pirates that go to school every day just like toehr kids, only they go in a school bus painted row boat to a giant pirate ship/public school. The lessons they teach are backwards to our own morals and not fair, as the kids are to be greedy and not share, and worse yet to fight when they have disputes. But these rules dont work when it is treasure hunt day on the spooky island. Although each boy claims to have found the treasure first, they quickly learn tha if they are to survice, they must ingore the pirate rules and instead cooperate, share, help out, and trust each other. Wonderful story, I highly reccommend.

I ordered this because my nephew is reading level 2 books. However, when it arrived, the book actually looks a little different and says "Level 3" on it. I double checked my order to make sure this is what I ordered and it was. So this book was either changed to level 3 and the description and picture was not updated, or Amazon made an error.

When my son received this book he read it to himself right away. It is a not a short read, yet the words are the right level of reading for a 7 year old. He read it cover to cover immediately and really enjoyed it.

My grandson wanted to be a pirate for a long time so I bought him this book. He loves it, so if he's happy I'm happy. Great price.

A great read-to or early reading book. Lots of fun with my SPED students who request it again and again!

My son loved the book. It was creative and exciting for him.

My son, David, is a first grader. He likes this book very much! The lesson is good. It teaches the kids to work together and help each other to ge things done,instead of fighting with each other.

"It was a little scary, a little funny, and easy to read" said my son Toby, aged 6.5, after reading this excellent book. He also says there were only about ten words he did not know. The illustrations are good and they do not give the story away -- Toby had to read the words. Toby says "don't give up!".

Despite the interesting subject matter, this is a very plain book. It is mildly entertaining but very forgettable. The illustrations are fun.
