Pirates

One of a very popular series which has previously featured the likes of witches and vampires, this is a lighthearted look at the scorges of the high seas under such headings as 'Pirate Personals', 'Pirate Pops', 'Treasure Islands' and 'Pirates in Petticoats', with amusingly annotated, hilarious drawings and accompanying additional details. There is a deceptive amount of reading in this book which will appeal as strongly to the anti-literates as to the avid reader of seven to eleven. It also can act as a stimulus for children to write their own versions.
