There are two things I love about this book: the gorgeous illustrations and the fact that it does not romanticize piracy. The pictures are beautifully painted and many of the faces look almost real. The book starts by reminding readers that pirates were murderers and thieves, not dashing heroes. It presents an exciting, informative, and realistic view of a pirate's life, told in poem. Perfect for little boys interested in pirates.
