"Down, down, down the dark, dark street they came. Up, up, up the dark, dark house they climbed. Stealthy as shadows, quiet as mice. Only the moon was watching when they arrived. Only the moon was watching when they left. Only the moon & one little boy."
Tom is awoken by a band of rough, tough little girl pirates, so what does he do? He joins their ranks! Together they set sail in search of treasure. But what will happen when they meet a crew of rough, tough grown-up pirates? Readers will be swept up in the spare, jaunty text, & quirky illustrations in this unexpected bedtime adventure.

Summary: We love this
Comment: It has really cute illustrations, and they shine with the wonderful, just-a-little-bit-exciting text.

Tom's bedroom is invaded by girl pirates, who welcome him aboard their boat when they steal the front of his house for disguise. All the pirates (and Tom) go, they non-violently steal treasure from the grown-up pirates, and Tom ends up back home safe in bed.

I have yet to meet a kid who didn't enjoy this book.

Summary: Great for boys AND girls!
Comment: This is a very sweet, non violent pirate story. I like that it includes boys and girls. We have the version with the CD which my son loves to listen to. This is a favorite in our house.

Summary: What an awsome book
Comment:
Being parents who love all thing pirates, my husband and I were so happy to find a book that shows that girls can be pirates too!! This is such a cute book. The illustrations are beautiful, the books flows easily and the story is cute in a non-violent pirate way. The third and fourth pages are printed so that you have to turn the book sideways to read them, which was a bit awkward at first. Our little girl (19 months) has to have this book read to her every night before bed and she has even begun to memorize parts of it. The story is simple; little girl pirates steal the front of Tom's house to disguise their pirate ship in order to sneak up on the grown up pirates and steal their treasure. Tom is allowed to join their crew and goes on their adventure to return safely home very tired. I would recommend this book to any parent.

Summary: Parents will love to read it to their kids!!!!
Comment: there's nothing worse than having your kids ask you to read a book that doesn't flow well, is too wordy, or that's just plain boring. as a teacher and mama, i LOVE this book! it has perfectly cadenced wording, flows very well, and contains our favorite children's book quote: "If you don't give me back my treasure, I'll tell my mummy!!"

JUST BUY IT you won't regret it...even if you don't like pirates. (who doesn't like pirates!?!?!)

Summary: Boys will love this
Comment: At first I was reluctant to purchase this because it was for my 3 year old grandson and it was about girl pirates.
He loved it and wanted it read over and over. The story kept his attention and was fun. He even learned the meaning of an "island".
