About Once On A Pirate Ship I Saw
Once On A Pirate Ship I Saw is a children's picture book. Author Derik Baltich explores the world of pirates in a style that engages young readers. While looking through a gigantic spyglass, a boy discovers all the aspects of the pirate's life. He sees many delightfully wacky and funny scenes that produce giggles and conversation. The story covers the full gamut of a pirate's life. Topics that could be scary or uncomfortable are instead addressed with wit and rhyme. Often pirates are associated with peg legs, hooks, and eye patches. Written in comical poetry and illustrations in kind, the topic is light and keeps the young readers focused on fun. The story is written and illustrated in a manner that stays clear from any hint of scary. For Example "Some had eyes, and some had none, Some had two, and some had one, Without any eyes, a pirate can see, To jump, to dance, to fight, and flee, And who needs to see to the left or right, When tucked in bed asleep at night?" Derik weaves a winsome story with rhyme. The humorous illustrations bring the story to life, allowing readers to visualize the characters and action just as a young girl or boy would want to see. Even new or struggling readers find it easy to follow the story and remember the rhyming message. Children love the silly twists of the typical concepts associated with pirates, such as "No forks they'll use at dinner time, with a hook for a hand they can eat just fine." Children are also enamored by the vivid illustrations that capture and embody the catchy rhyming phrases. You will find that your children will choose this book to read again and again. Once On A Pirate Ship I Saw is an engaging picture book. Woven throughout the story is the message that reading is a window to adventure.
