A new favorite

Shriver Me Letters has become a new favorite book for my 3 yearold grandson. He loves to find hidden objects in books and that is exctly what the kids do while reading this book. The pirate theme is also perfect at this time and the illustrations are very colorful and fun. We are very happy with our purchase and feel the price was within the normal range for a child's hardback book.

Fun

My 2 year old really enjoys this as he's learing his letters and playing "I spy". Mom and Dad enjoy it too.

not just an alphabet book

I really liked this story. My son, who doesn't really love books, asks me to read it again and again.
I enjoyed that it is an actual story and learning the alphabet is a side issue. So many alphabet books just plod through all the letters. In this story, a band of pirates set out to find the letters. It whips through the whole alphabet so nicely that you don't even notice that it is whole point of the book. Each letter is also "hidden" on the page.
A fun book, where you could briefly go over the whole alphabet every night for quite a while before it gets too old.

There's More To The Pirate Alphabet Than ARRR!

Shiver Me Letters plays off a very cute (and wonderully geeky) joke, the pirate's fixation on the letter "R", as in "ARRRRR!". The pirate captain has decided that his crew needs to expand their horizons beyond just "R". So they lower their anchor ("A"!) at a desert island and set off seeking a buried treasure of letters.

And yes, "X" does indeed mark the spot.

Told in rhyming couplets by June Sobel, this story will have youngsters reading along as they follow the adventures of the pirate crew through the letters of the alphabet. Henry Cole has illustrated the pirates as cute cartoon animals, including a crocodile captain who wears a rubber-ducky floatation device (it even has an eyepatch!).

The illustrations are humorous and colorful, and the text is plain fun as it bounces from one location to the next, covering all of the classic pirate motifs while it moves through the alphabet. To make things even more fun, the letters of the alphabet are hidden in the illustrations, giving a nice treat for visual and artistic learners.

The ending is adorable too.

Alphabet books are great learning tools for young children, and this one has the added advantage of telling an amusing story.
