Talk Like a Pirate Day 2014 – Pirate Picture Books for Preschoolers

We love International Talk Like a Pirate Day & turn it into a week long pirate extravaganza. Being on the Great Lakes, we are blessed to have a Schooner Festival every few years that just happens to coincide with Talk Like a Pirate Day. How smart are they!? Anyway, we just got back from two weeks in Florida and are just celebrating pirate week before we start on the hard subjects of school next week. Today I’m going to share 3 pirate books for littles that I hadn’t mentioned before.

First up is Shiver Me Letters. Shiver Me Letters is a fun little book with fun illustrations. The captain tells his crew he can’t do much with just an “r” (arrrrh. Get it?) and to go find him the rest of the alphabet. The story is told in rhyme and the letters are cleverly hidden in the illustrations. They are easy to find if you listen to the story. Super cute & great for kids learning letters.

Twenty-Six Pirates is another alphabet book. This one tells the story of twenty-six pirate on a ship through rhyming couplets. It’s a favorite and gets read so much that I need to get a new one already. There is a pirate for every letter of the alphabet. Hubs & I love W.

Pirate Wade,
Mistakes were made.

The illustrations are funny and we laugh each time we read it. I would recommend this one, too.

The last one is one I bought last year, Do Pirates Take Baths?. I got it because its illustrated by Nadine Bernard Westcott & we love her style. For whatever reason, I had it in my head that I thought this book was a waste, but when I read it a few weeks ago, I thought it was really cute. It’s filled with questions about pirates and the answers are written in a very cute rhyme. It has answers for everything from Do Pirates Take Baths? to Do Pirates Have Birthday’s? It’s the current favorite of my almost 4 year old daughter. Another cute pirate book worth adding to the collection!
