Pirate Treasure Map: A Fairytale Adventure

by Colin Hawkins, Jacqui Hawkins

The creators of FAIRYTALE NEWS mix up favorite tales in a comical quest with a pull-out treasure map.

Little Jack Hubbard can't wait to set sail with Cap'n Horatio Hubbard on a hunt for long-lost treasure. But the ship's wolfish crew are suspiciously big and bad, and soon Jack is diving into the waves to rescue a valuable treasure map. All seems lost until Jack is saved by the Owl and the Pussycat (in a beautiful pea-green boat) and passes a witch's gingerbread cottage, where two kids are caught in a culinary plot. . . . With the help of a handy removable map, readers will happily follow Jack's path to the treasure through a fractured-fairytale land.

A jumble of and take on hansel and Gretel and a few other stories like Treasure Island... it doesn't follow anyof these however and ends without resolving everything.

The plot is a bit random, but the fairy tales included were fun.

This book is fun because it has a real treasure map included, but the story itself is not so great. I wish the idea of the map had been incorporated a little better into the story. Fun for kids who like pirates. 4 years and up.
