Customer Reviews

Keeps both parents and children interested!

I picked this up at a book party last week and absolutely love it. My 3 yo son loves anything to do with pirates so this has been a big hit. This tells the story of a young boy in pirate school who goes on an adventure with his uncle (who happens to be a pirate). Each double page spread has a maze or puzzle to complete, items to seek and find, and furthers the adventure toward the hidden treasure. We read this at bed time and only do a page or 2 per night. Last night, my son (who usually fights me at bedtime) volunteered to get ready for bed an hour early just to get extra time with this book. I'm telling you, I sometimes tire of reading the same stories over and over (most parents can I'm sure relate). This one actually holds my interest too. Since my son is only 3, this book is a little old for him and there are some puzzles he's just too young for. but the seek and find items are enough on some pages to keep him busy and there are new things to notice each time. This is a fantastic gift item. I got this with "Pirate Jigsaw Book" (also by Usborne books). The 2 together make a great gift item. see my other review if you're interested in learning more about that book too.
