5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant!, 8 Nov 2007
By Dr. H. Payne - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Like the "1001 bugs to spot" from this series I think this book is superb. It is not a storybook so don't buy it if you're looking for salty sea-dog pirate stories.

Each page has an incredibly detailed picture of some aspect of pirate life that little boys may imagine to be true. It's all highly jolly, friendly and sanitised which seems to be the way pirates are presented these days. For example, there's the pirates having a party on their ship, pirate school, pirate races etc. Around the edge of the picture certain items from the main picture are illustrated with a number next to them indicating how many you are to hunt for within the picture.

These books are a real hit with my little boy. They help no end with practising simple counting (up to 10) but also with the ability to resume counting after you've been distracted by something interesting elsewhere in the picture. My little boy is developing quite successful visual scanning strategies through using these stories too.

He loves them, they're educational. Perfect.

3.0 out of 5 stars Only for the pirate obsessed, 8 Mar 2008
By Julia Flyte - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
The "1001 things to spot" series by Usborne has been a huge hit in our family with both our boys (aged 7 and 4). Each book in the series has a number of pages with things to look for in the pictures. They keep kids entertained for hours and are also great for teaching counting and for building vocabulary. The variation in the pictures sparks lots of discussion about what country this town may be in, or which era this "long ago" image may be from.

Having said that, "1001 Pirate Things" was a disappointment to me. Unlike many of the other books in the series, each page features a very similar illustration (invariably a marginally different pirate ship) and it feels very repetitive. Both my sons got bored with this book and so did I. I know that there are boys out there who totally obsess on pirates and it would be wonderful for them. But unless your child fits that description, I would try one of the other books in the series instead.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful for little boys, 31 Mar 2009
By K. Gray (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
My 5 year old son absolutely loves this book. Every night, once we have finished reading stories to him, he looks at this book before he goes to sleep, it is a permanent fixture on his bed.

We have also bought the Wizard one for my other younger some and he seems to love that too. Lovely.
