Biggest, Baddest Book of Pirates (Biggest, Baddest Books for Boys)
Tales of pirates have captured the imagination of people the world over. From fairy tales and adventure stories to histories of real-life pirates, this book explains who pirates are, what they do, and how they have become well known. It also features information on pirates of the past and present.
Pirates have green teeth—when they have any teeth at all. I know about pirates, because one day, when I was at the beach building a sand castle and minding my own business, a pirate ship sailed into view.
So proclaims Jeremy Jacob, a boy who joins Captain Braid Beard and his crew in this witty look at the finer points of pirate life by the Caldecott Honor–winning illustrator David Shannon and the storyteller Melinda Long. Jeremy learns how to say “scurvy dog,” sing sea chanteys, and throw food . . . but he also learns that there are no books or good night kisses on board: “Pirates don’t tuck.” A swashbuckling adventure with fantastically silly, richly textured illustrations that suit the story to a T.
Dive beneath the waves to discover sunken ships and the incredible secrets they reveal. The extraordinary stories of shipwrecks are explored in detail through one hundred facts, fantastic images, and fun cartoons. Find out how archeologists investigate sites on the ocean floor, learn how treasures are raised from the depths, and read amazing tales of survival at sea.
