YARRRR ME LAND LUBBERS!!!!

TODAY BE “TALK LIKE A PIRATE” DAY, AND WE ARRRRRR CELEBRATING BY SHOWING OFF OUR FAVORITE PIRATE BOOKS! AHOY!!!!

We love to play make-believe with our kids. We love putting on costumes and turning our old playground bus into a massive pirate ship.

Most importantly, we love teaching them things they need to know hidden under things they WANT to know.

THE BEST LESSONS ARE THE STICKY ONES, THE BELLY LAUGH ONES, THE PLAYFUL MEMORY ONES

Here are nine of our absolute favorite picture books for preschoolers (and school agers!) that you can read with your best pirate voice.

1. Pete the Cat and the Treasure Map (Who doesn’t love Pete the Cat?)

2. How I Became a Pirate (In Ms. Janette’s Classroom!)

3. Pirate & Penguin (Recommended for Pirates with younger siblings!)

4. Pirates Next Door (In Ms. Janette’s Classroom!)

5. Pirates Don’t Go To Kindergarten (Busy Bees Wish List!)

6. There was an Old Pirate who swallowed a Map! (Perfect for sequencing, cause and effect, and laughing!)

7. Even Pirates Need to Listen (Perfect for walking friends through following the rules)
