Críticas:

"Large realistic paintings work with 20 narrative poems to describe the nitty-gritty details of pirate life. . . . Burr's illustrations do a find job of conveying the emotions of each poem and of showing the details of dress and shipboard life. An afterword further explains the unromantic world of piracy. This is a good choice for reading aloud in classrooms studying the topic, or for children interested in the real world of pirates."--"School Library Journal" "As Burr's deeply realistic and heavily detailed paintings soon attest, piracy makes for exciting subject matter. Twenty poems in this collection detail every aspect of those scurvy lads' lives. . . . Child readers will come for the subject matter, and they'll stay for the lush art.""--Kirkus Reviews" ""This is a good choice for reading aloud in classrooms studying the topic, or for children interested in the real world of pirates.""--School Library Journal "Enjoyably rich with popular pirate argot, begging to be read aloud in one's best buccaneering voice." --"Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books" "Child readers will come for the subject matter, and they'll stay for the lush art. A section at the end offers additional information on what an average pirate's life would have been like. (Bibliography)" --Kirkus Reviews "Enjoyably rich with popular pirate argot, begging to be read aloud in one's best buccaneering voice." --Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "This is a good choice for reading aloud in classrooms studying the topic, or for children interested in the real world of pirates."--School Library Journal

Reseña del editor:

Glamorous, swashbuckling, daring adventurers? Pirates have had good publicity for a long time. But they were really a bunch of misfits, thugs, and ne'er-do-wells who spent most of their time bored, waiting for a few moments of excitement and rich booty that could very well get them wounded or killed, or captured and executed. Still, a pirate's life was chosen by many, and this poetry collection describes the highs and lows and everything in between for those who swore the oath of the Brotherhood.
