3.0 out of 5 stars key stage 1, 27 Oct 2008
By L. Truesdale - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
i bought this book to accompany my pirates topic in year one. the book was good with good illustrations, however it is more for key stage 2. the language was too complicated for year one and i wasnt able to do any work around the story.

5.0 out of 5 stars A really fun read, 4 Oct 2008
By L. Hennessy "slowly losing weight" (Twickenham) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Jolly Roger and the Pirates of Captain Abdul: And the Pirates of Captain Abdul (Paperback)
My six-year old son loves this book - the illustrations are a bit like those of Steve Bell, the cartoonist from The Guardian.

The story concerns Roger, a young boy who everybody in his town calls 'Jolly Roger', because he's so fed up all the time. His mother is very strict, and his father never returned from sea. He sees an advert for someone to become a cabin boy for a gang of pirates, and decides to join up.

There's at least seven pirate characters in this story, so there's plenty of scope for practising your pirate voices, and a fairly sophisticated level of humour that runs through the narrative. It's quite lengthy (reading time about 20 minutes), with enough material for it to be split into two sessions if necessary.

I very much enjoyed reading this out loud, and judging by the reaction from my audience, he enjoyed it too.

The story ends with Roger finding his dad (who was suffering from amnesia after being forced to join the pirates), his mum becoming happy and smiling for the first time, and everyone living happily ever after - as all bedtime stories should do, of course ;)

This is highly recommended.

...and they all lived happily ever after. THE END
