What If You Met a Pirate?

What If You Met a Pirate? is a wonderful book for the classroom.  I love the question and answer format.  This format makes the book a great resource for kids.  Students do not have to sit down and read the entire book, they can look at the question headings and read just the information that is relevant for them.  I also love that the questions in the book are real, practical, interesting questions that kids would actually be interested in knowing.  Where could you find a pirate if you needed one?  What did pirates do all day?  How did pirates attack?  All of these questions spark students’ interest in the study of pirates.  The language and answers in the book are also easy to read and understand, which is another benefit of this book.  Terms are explained in an easy to understand and interesting way.
