A review by cboddie
Pirateology by William Lubber, Dugald A. Steer

4.0

I love all of the books in the Ologies series and this is definitely one of my favorites. It fulfills my love of all things nautical and piratical perfectly! How I would have loved this book as a kid! Who am I kidding, it's still super great as an adult. It's such a fun, interactive way to learn about pirate history and customs, ships, world cultures and life at sea during that time. I'd recommend this for children in Kindergarten and older. Even if the younger kids can't read all of the passages, the wonderful illustrations and numerous flaps and extras provide hours of entertainment. The journal style presents the information in a highly readable fashion and makes it ideal for parents to read aloud. Really, the only thing missing is a bibliography offering suggestions for further reading.
