My toddler loves this book! So fun to read

Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2019

My toddler loves this book. He mimicked the pirate words afterwards. He has a speech delay, so any books that he likes to repeat are a wonderful way to help him talk more without it being like school for him.

This book is fantastic!! My grandson loves pirates and this book is very fun to read. He kept asking us to read this every bedtime for a month. He was memorizing the parts and saying the pirate phrases while playing! Well written. Highly recommend!

My 18 month-old grandson has lazy eye and needs to wear a patch on the good eye every day for two hours. This book helps to carry out a pirate theme and turn the medical necessity into fun.
