3.0

A story about a make believe pirate ship, two children, and bonding over play. This story is on the longer side so it would make a better one-on-one story.

I have a 3 year old and a 1 year old. Sat both of them down to read this book today, my 3 year old was completely absorbed by the book, her emotions were displayed on her face as the plot develops, therefore I would say the recommended age is spot on at 4 - 8 year olds.

Important lessons in diversity, challenges, exploration, imagination and acceptance are depicted really well through this book.

Perfect book for pirate-loving children, I clearly needed to be more in character as a seafarer (as there are words I didn’t know before)

Many thanks Babipur for this book in exchange for an honest feedback.
