Pirates is a cute story to pass a child's time. The illustrations are all humorous, though many times they do not seem to represent what is actually happening in the story. Also, I found myself wishing that at least a few were in color, to better compliment the lively story. The story itself is entertaining, a great way to remind kids about the power of their own imaginations. There are a few funny moments, and when the pirate instructs the children to put dig around through treasure and laugh hysterically the readers will find themselves laughing along with the children. Overall, this pirate reader could do without the "Porridge," but it does go down smoothly.
