{Synopsis} – There was an old pirate who swallowed a map. I don’t know why she swallowed a map–ARGH!–but it wasn’t a trap!
Scholastic’s bestselling OLD LADY is starring in a brand-new adventure series that will make you laugh AND learn! In this new spin-off, the OLD LADY turns into an OLD PIRATE who travels across the seas, swallowing a map… and a rope, and a sword, and a spyglass, and an anchor, and a flag, and a treasure… Why? Well, it was a pleasure to swallow that treasure!
Two new characters lead the reader through this hilarious adventure while exchanging some awesome facts about life on the open seas for a light take on nonfiction that’s perfect for this age. With expanded back matter about life on a ship and a search-and-find game at the end, this OLD PIRATE definitely has sea legs!
{My thoughts} – Instead of an old lady swallowing everything in this book it’s a pirate. A nice change of events. These books seem to get more silly each time a new one is released.
The words within the pages match the illustrations nicely. Each book although silly can also be used as a teaching tool for the children reading it or being read too. It has activities and more information at the end of the book.
I recommend this book for any child that enjoys this series and is interested in reading more of the silly stories.
Final Conclusion: 5 Star Rating.
