Are you looking to join the pirate life? There's no better time than Talk Like a Pirate Day on September 19! You may have thought being a pirate is all about having adventures and looking for treasure. But being a seafaring buccaneer is not an easy life. Dive into these book gems to learn if pirate ship life is for you.
Let's start our journey with P Is for Pirate, the perfect handbook for young landlubbers. Readers will appreciate the whimsical and humorous artwork while learning cool facts about legendary ships, famous hideouts, and of course, infamous pirates.
How Do You Get to Be a Pirate?
You show the captain,
who picks the crew,
that you're a special case--
that you can run
and kick and climb
and make a fearsome face.
Do Pirates Take Baths? offers amusing illustrations and rhyming prose.
Even if you decide pirate life is not for you, who says you cannot pretend to be a pirate like Danny in Pirate Boy?
Who says girls can't join the pirate life? Believe or not, Pirate Queens were some of the most fearless pirates around! Told in prose form, learn about six female pirates from around the world. My favorite is Sela from Norway, who was a pirating pioneer having ruled the seas some 1600 years ago!
The perfect ending to our voyage through pirate history is with this fun, interactive Pirates book which you can test you and your friends how much you know.
