Where Do Pirates Go on Vacation? by Kim Ann is the latest in her vacation series. This time we follow some swashbuckling pirates. What do pirates do when they have secured their treasure and have some time off? Do they spend time on the seven seas? Do they take their treasure with them? Maybe they enjoy some more traditional vacation spots. Maybe they go camping or rafting or play games. All these ideas and more are explored in this colorful tale. After all the exciting possibilities listed are explored, the ending may surprise you. A rhyming, rollicking romp with an assorted cast of pirates awaits eager young listeners.
As a former children's librarian, I can attest to the popularity of pirates. Where Do Pirates Go on Vacation? is a worthy addition for the pirate-obsessed young reader. Childhood is a time to enrich young minds and encourage their vivid imaginations. Kim Ann has laid out the story beautifully, similar to Jane Yolen's Dinosaur books. Each double-page spread has a one-line question or sentence that will keep kids engaged. The illustrations by Nejla Shojaie are top-notch. The diverse cast of buccaneers includes a captain in a wheelchair. The settings are full of color and action. Kids will eagerly turn the pages to see what the pirates might do next. Kids and parents that are familiar with this series will be excited to see this latest installment. Where Do Pirates Go on Vacation? is a book that is sure to please all those who love the sea.
