5.0 out of 5 stars Adventures to dream about!, 4 Jan 2006
This review is from: The Night Pirates (Paperback)
A beautiful book with a fun, adventurous story. My five- year old stares at the illustrations and seems to get lost in them, dreaming. What's more, it is an excellent book for a beginning reader. Its gentle poetic repetitions and highlighted words are a great learning tool. My son chimes in and reads along. And he is also looking at girls in a different light with this book. These girls are cool. No pink princesses for him. He wants his girl friends to be girl pirates!
I recommend this book for both boys and girls.

5.0 out of 5 stars Watch out Harry Potter!, 12 Oct 2005
This review is from: The Night Pirates (Paperback)
A pirate tale with a twist - this is a must-have for kids and their parents. Read it a hundred times and you'll see something new on every page. The story is beautifully told - its descriptions of the shimmering moon watching over the night pirates who steal a house and sail away with it to find treasure are fantastic. They remind you of the whispery narration of Oliver Postgate on 'The Clangers' or 'Noggin the Nogg'. But the real beauty of this book is in the illustrations by Deborah Allwright. Brilliant, awe-inspiring, deft and delightful, there's no doubt that they will capture the imaginations of children for decades. Each page shows a magical talent for colour and detail and a great sense of humour. There's no doubt about it, 'The Night Pirates' is setting sail and already becoming a classic. Christmas presents are sorted!

5.0 out of 5 stars Piratical goodness, 19 Mar 2007
By A. J. Rabet "Rabs" (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Night Pirates (Paperback)
This is another favourite of my children who love the rhythms of the verses in the book along with the wonderful story of a little boy helping girl pirates get treasure from bad pirates with the help of the facade of his house!

The only thing that annoys me is the script being rather hard to follow as it is rather stylised at times

2.0 out of 5 stars Adventure
There is not much of an adventure in it. Not a surprise or twist on it. Nothing exciting about the story. Not our favorite.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic story that is a refreshing change from the norm.
This is one of those big books with big pictures that have lots going on in them. A child can spend ages just gazing at a single picture making up their own story. Read more
