Pirates

by Rod Green, Steve Read (Illustrator), Ruth Wickings (Paper Engineer)

Ever since ships first crossed the oceans carrying valuable cargo, there have been pirates on the seas trying to steal the grains, olive oil, and silk those ships were transporting. The Golden Age of Pirates comes life in Sounds of the Past: Pirates, a swashbuckling high seas adventure. Kids will marvel at the lifelike sound effects of pirates engaged in a sword fight and Blackbeard launching an attack on an enemy ship, while pop-ups display scenes in colorful detail. Educational, detailed text explains each scene so kids can learn along the way. Get ready to explore like never before!
