For wannabe pirates whether boys or girls
Favourite quote of the book: 'Give me my treasure back or I'll tell my mum'

This book is a firm favourite with my 5yo son - he loves the rhythm and the pace and most of all he loves the little girl pirates for NOT saying 'certainly not, you're only a boy'. I have bought lots of copies for little girls as an antidote to stories of soppy princesses, and had to make a complete Captain Patch costume for my son for World Book Day!

bedtime story night after night
We bought this along with 'pirate things to make and do' and again this was a great purchase. My 6 year old son chose this for his bedtime story night after night after night. He enjoyed reciting the first page or two himself. He loved the repetition and also the typography. This book has spurred my son on into wanting to read and the different typography has been helpful in recognising the word phrases.

absolutely captivating
This is one of my and my 4 year old son's favourite books. It tells the fantastic story of Tom and a team of girl pirates who steal the front of Tom's house and use it to disguise their ship so they can steal treasure from Captain Patch and his grown up pirates.

What sets this book apart is the wonderful illustrations and the text which not only has a gentle rhyme and repetition but flows across the page using different fonts and layouts to help tell the story. for instance when the pirates run away, so do the letters.....

This book will be treasured by any boy or girl and it is particularly refreshing to find a story about girls who are not pink princessese. Buy this book - you will not be disappointed!

the night pirates
I love the illustrations in this book and the story seems to start off well but i thought that the middle of the story was lacking a little.
Where was the big adventure? They said what it was but i feel they could have taken us into the adventure in just a little bit more detail.
Im afraid to say i was a bit disapointed in the book by itself although the book along with the cd is much better.

Night Pirates
An excellent book which has been read and read. The way the book is written is easy to read and understand. The pictures are also excellent. I would recommend this to boys and girls who have an interest in pirates. Happy reading.
