Title: Good Stuff, Good Stuff
Product review: I read this book to my English Language Learner first graders and got rave reviews. The illustrations (by David Shannon of "No, David" fame... another winner) are dynamic and eye-catching, and the text is at once both comprehensible and exciting.Children are able to both experience the fun and joy of pirate life and in the end recognize the reasons why perhaps villain-of-the-sea life is not one that they should choose. Some potential extension ideas:1. Recognize dialogue/use quotation marks... it's somehow more fun if you get to write and say AARRRRR every time to write a quote, correctly, using quotation marks.2. Visual organizer... T-diagram: Things that would be fun about being a pirate vs things that would be bad about being a pirate.3. Nautical vocabularyIt's also just plain fun!
