Little Kid Reaction
My daughter shivered-me-timbers and laughed her way through this one.
Parent Reaction
Clever, clever, clever. This is probably the most clever re-modeling of the classic that I've ever seen. The descriptions of the pirates and events are vivid and brought to life in wonderful colorful. There is pirate jargon galore and the glossary in the back is a riot. So not only is it fun, you learn something, too.
