Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly - Publisher's Weekly
Illustrated with diagrams, treasure maps and paintings, this guide for aspiring Blackbeards includes recipes and craft projects as well as juicy historical tidbits, such as what a well-dressed female pirate wears. Ages 8-12. (Apr.)
Children's Literature - Mary Sue Preissner
This is a positively delightful book for the upper elementary/middle school boy or girl, and a great source for a "how to" report. A full-page illustrated diagram shows what the well-dressed pirate wore and gives instructions on making your own buckle shoes. A full-page sample of a "Code of Conduct" also comes with ideas on how to write your own code. Learn piratical language, visit the Rogues' Gallery of famous pirates, make biscuits and take a test for scurvy. Each pirate topic includes illustrations, a craft or activity, and enough facts to interest the most reluctant reader/researcher.
School Library Journal
Gr 3-5-Aspiring young pirates will enjoy this potluck presentation about one of the world's oldest professions. Lincoln takes an eclectic approach to the history of piracy, covering a broad spectrum of topics-clothing, codes of conduct, flags, ships, and (of course) treasure. The book pairs factual discussions with relevant crafts and activities. For example, a section on provisions is accompanied by a recipe for ``ship's biscuit'' and a questionnaire on how to determine if a person has scurvy. A gruesome description of the punishments exacted on certain infamous pirates will titillate youngsters as well as make them think twice about a life of crime. ``A Rogues' Gallery'' at the end of the book gives brief biographies of some of the more notorious villains, including Anne Bonny and Mary Read. Black-and-white and full-color reproductions, photographs, and drawings illustrate the text. Unfortunately, neither a table of contents nor an index is included. More of a browsing item than report material, this unique British import will fascinate and delight readers.-Rosalyn Pierini, San Luis Obispo City-County Library, CA
From Barnes & Noble
Avast ye landlubbers...here's a treasure chest packed with practical pirate know-how! Just like Long Ben Avery, Black Bart, Anne Bonny, Ching Shih, and other famous sea-faring thieves before you, you'll learn how to dress to kill, cook Salamagundi, raid galleons, draw a treasure map, test for scurvy, and have a rollicking good time on dry land--if you're lucky enough to avoid capture by the gentlemen you've managed to offend!
