Pirate Books

I wanted to find out more pirate facts after I saw the movies—
Pirates of the Caribbean
Were all pirates as charming as Captain Jack?
Read about a pirates life—
the rules, weapons, punishments, and more!
Cool overlays reveal hidden pictures. Find out…
Ø What linked buccaneers to barbecue?
Ø Did prisoners often walk the plank?
Ø Why did pirates use square sails?
In See-Through Pirates by Kelly Davis
For ages 8-12 J 910.45 Davis



Read about 13 of the most infamous pirate terrors
of the sea and two notorious women pirates.
The cover features a cool skull and crossbones
with a green jewel eye.
An added treat at the end of the book is
the Little Book of Pirate Records—find out:
Ø Which pirate was the unluckiest…
Ø Which pirate made the biggest booty haul
In Pirates Most Wanted by John Matthews
For ages 8-12. J 910.45 Matthews

Two more cool pirate books to consider—
How To Be A Pirate by John Malam (do you have what it takes?)
J 910.45 Malam
Pirate by Deborah Lock (great pictures/fascinating history)
J 910.45 Lock
Do you have a favorite pirate book that
you can recommend with a hearty “Aargh!”
