Pirates Love Underpants by Freedman, Claire (2013) Paperback Paperback – 28 Feb. 2013

We use this at work at a nursery, children love this story. Pirates are a favourite.

The story is ok. Not as grabbing and exciting as I thought it would be. My 3 year old picks it out for bedtime still but not very often even though he seems to like pirate stories, this one didn't seem to interest him too much.

…‘Pants pirates never fail’!From the back cover (image below refers):🦜 ‘These pirates SO love underpants,They're on a special questTo find the fabled Pants of Gold,For the Captain's Treasure chest.This hilarious addition to the Underpants series is full of pirates, sharks and treasure.You’ll be yo-ho-ho-ing until the sails come down!’…and that is no understatement, as it turns out.ooOoo~ TITLE : PIRATES LOVE UNDERPANTS~ AUTHOR : CLAIRE FREEDMAN~ ILLUSTRATOR : BEN CORT~ PUBLISHER : SIMON & SCHUSTER‘Printed in China’ooOooBeautifully written by award-winning Claire Freedman and illustrated by Ben Cort, starting & finishing with the usual trio of pages of colourful pairs of underpants, this time with a nautical/pirate theme.The current 'LOOK INSIDE' facility above gives a fair insight into the layout of this colourful paperback book, that measures around 23.5 cm x 27 cm. The rhyming story spans 24 shiny finish pages, presented in the popular double page spread format, as we sail the seas, venturing into scary territory such as ‘Big Knickers Bay' & 'Three Pants Ridge' with 'Long-John Bridge'!As usual, the vibrantly coloured illustrations have far more in them than first meets the eye, including what the cheeky little monkey is up to, the ‘one-eyed teddy bear’(!) and the ponderous expressions over the various clues that suggest these particular pirates might not be the only ones on the trail of the ‘Pants of Gold’! 🦜
