Summary: Wonderful for my 6 yr old
Comment: My 6 yr. old son has recently become interested in pirates and this book is adorable. The author tells us about the pirates'lack of personal hygiene, rules, and most importantly...their lack of bedtime rituals. My son thinks that these guys are " nice pirates " and he is inspired to read more.

Summary: Arr! Can I Be a Pirate, Too?
Comment: If ever there were a children's book that played into every child's foibles, dreams, and tastes, it's Melinda Long's "How I Became a Pirate."
I've got to believe that just about everyone out there, young and old, will find something amusing and true to life in this fine children's offering.
A sand castle of unusual quality built by Jeremy Jacob attracts a misfit band of not-too-scary pirates in search of a master digger to help bury their ill-gotten booty. Jeremy soon finds that the pirate life is for him--staying up till all hours, saying "Arr," and foregoing vegetables. But after finding no one to tuck him in at night (in a hilarious pirate pile illustrated with great touches by David Shannon), Jeremy has second thoughts about a life on the seven seas. In the end, he gets the last laugh in a delicious little twist ending.
I will consistently go back to books like "How I Became a Pirate" for their gentle humor, wonderful illustrations, and pleasant reading that appeals to children. It's hard to go wrong with those qualities and you would go wrong if you passed up this delightful little book. I know my three year old son ate up every word and drawing in it. A surefire nominee for the 2004 Caldecott medal, in my opinion.
Enjoy!

Summary: FAVORITE
Comment: This is my 4-year-old son's favorite book. He even tries to brush his teeth extra good so they don't turn green --like a pirate's teeth.
