Pirates

by Philip Steele

[Kingfisher Readers Level 4]

Climb aboard, mateys, for more swashbuckling than has ever been seen in the pages of an early reader. Starting with who became pirates and why, and covering female pirates, terrible deeds, punishment, and all of the key accessories—flags, swords, treasure, hideouts, and more—this is a detailed and exciting look at life on the high seas. Along the way, readers will expand their skills with the introduction of challenging new vocabulary within the text, and callouts and fact boxes to highlight key information. Level 4 also adds a timeline for another key research skill. With all this action, kids might forget they’re working on their reading at all!
LEVEL 4 – READING ALONE (cyan)

Reviews

[Il_mare_ghiacciato · Rating 5 out of 5]

Esaustivo, forse un po' troppo per essere propinato a bambini o ragazzi. Bellissime illustrazioni. A fine libro, è presente un dizionario dei termini usati e una stringata bibliografia per chi voglia approfondire.
