Good Stuff, Good Stuff

I read this book to my English Language Learner first graders and got rave reviews. The illustrations (by David Shannon of "No, David" fame... another winner) are dynamic and eye-catching, and the text is at once both comprehensible and exciting.

Children are able to both experience the fun and joy of pirate life and in the end recognize the reasons why perhaps villain-of-the-sea life is not one that they should choose. Some potential extension ideas:

1. Recognize dialogue/use quotation marks... it's somehow more fun if you get to write and say AARRRRR every time to write a quote, correctly, using quotation marks.
2. Visual organizer... T-diagram: Things that would be fun about being a pirate vs things that would be bad about being a pirate.
3. Nautical vocabulary

It's also just plain fun!

My daughter, the pirate

Vibrant pictures, plenty of opportunity to attempt the personage of a pirate, and touches on things near and dear to my daughter's heart: stories at bed time, table manners (not so much), soccer and brushing your teeth. She loves it so I love it, too.

Arggh!! Pirates Don't Tuck!!

This is a very entertaining book (not just for my 3 1/2 year old but for parents too), with great illustrations and plenty of opportunity for "funny" voices when reading it out loud. Highly recommend for reading together.






shiver me timbers, a grait book

This book is about a kid named Jeremy Jacob and a pirate named Braid Beard. I like all the pictures because they are really funny and cool that's why I like the book. I think everybody should read this book because this is a great book to read.
