It is interesting, action-packed and detailed. The stories are long-enough to sink your teeth into, but broken into small enough segments to lend themselves easily to be read aloud. Best of all, the stories all satisfy without gorging. There is plenty of room left afterwards to question, discuss and imagine. This book invites conversations about emotion, morality and friendship to blossom from its simply elegant pages. Thank you Jim and Jackie for this true pirate treasure.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Sailing the high seasBy Children's Literature BuffDid you ever dream of sailing the high seas?! Did you enjoy the good clean fun, support and camaraderie of summer camp?! This book combines the best of those things. Many daring, quirky characters. Exotic settings. Wind in your sails. Lots of great themes, like reaching for your dreams, cooperation, loyalty, enterprise, patience, benevolent authority, and even work ethic(shhhh), are woven into enjoyable, inspiring, imaginative tales. I wish Shiver Me Timbers had been around when I was a girl, when there was a dearth of active heroines. But what fun it would be to read it to school aged kids!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Fantastic StoriesBy A CustomerThis is a real page turner about a different sort of pirate, a pirate who shows a kind side as well as their "usual pirate--ish" attitude about plundering. Each story has a few funny parts and a few more dramatic parts. Anyone 6+ can enjoy this book well.
