Pirates, scientists, and communists ahoy!
Arrr, we harr
at the Family ‘alued pirate school, landlubbers mess,
and drydock have randomly selected a 10-year-old from
among the one immediately a’ailable. Ye’ll ne’er get me buried booty!
I hear there’s a new Pirates
book out.
Oo-oo. Yes, I want to read it.
It’s called The Pirates in an Adventure with Communists.
It’s from a series by Gideon Defoe. That’s an interesting name.
Well, there are lotsa weird names in
the world.
People might think
we’re talking about any old pirates book.
Then they’re wrong. The first book that I read about the
pirates was The Pirates in an Adventure
with Scientists, where they’re in an adventure with scientists. There’s
scientific stuff and the big finale is in a museum. And there’s The Pirates in an Adventure with Ahab,
where they want to get a new ship because one of their masts is always falling
over. In the book, they meet Captain Ahab and his ship. These books are very
funny books about a ship full of pirates with a resemblance to a barrel of
monkeys.
I’m not sure I
understand.
Because the pirate crew is very silly.
The pirates are like “the Pirate with a Scarf On” and the pirate captain who is
the “Pirate Captain.”
Would you
recommend these books?
To anyone who knows the stuff that they should know like basic pirate
stuff and what pirates really do to make it more funny.
