LOOK OUT PIRATES B22

Summary: literacy tutor likes this book
Review: I am a literacy tutor for a second grade boy who is really struggling with reading. Look Out for Pirates! captured his interest and imagination right away. Like magic, he WANTED to read (something that he previously was reluctant to do). I recommend this book for tutors to use with reluctant readers. It is a wonderful book and I wish it was still in print.

Summary: Look out for pirates
Review: I first saw this book when I was in the first grade. I continued to check it out of the school library and renew it until the teacher told me to let someone else have a turn. My boyhood dream was to actually go underwater in a deep-sea diving suit. Twenty years later I attended a commercial diving school and tried many different kinds of helmets and diving gear. We need to get this book back into print so I can buy many copies for my children, nephews and nieces.

Summary: Longing for old times
Review: I searched for this book not knowing the author or anything about the book except the title and a load of childhood memories. I like the others, can vividly remember the tale of a treasure chest lost and the courage to outwit the pirates. Now with a son of my own, I hope I can find this treasure to share with him. I was encouraged to discover so many other wistful searchers like myself. Perhaps together we will see this in print once more!

Summary: Great Early Reader - Exciting Plot and Vivid Pictures
Review: This is the best early reader I've found for my 6-year-old son. (Actually he found it himself in the school library.) Unlike the Cat in the Hat and its ilk (which he loved hearing when he was younger but gets bored reading himself) this has a real plot and a subject that he loves: pirates! and engrossing, exciting pictures. I hope it gets reprinted, and I wish there were a whole series of beginner readers like this!

Summary: My favorite childhood story!
Review: This was one of the first books I ever read (back in First Grade!) and it captured my imagination like nothing else. It is a story of pursuing pirates, lost treasure, a castaway shipwreck, and deep sea diving. The illustrations are wonderful. Now I have a 6-year-old son who is ready to start reading, and I hope I can find a copy for him.

Review: This was our firstborn's favorite early reader. Now that his brother & sister are getting ready to read, I have searched high and low for our own copy. The words are simple but the story is fascinating so that our son read on page after page when he usually would have tired out. It outclasses the other early readers on the market.
