Pirate Island

While working at a day care on Thursday, I had bought the kids a book entitled Pirate Island. It is a children's book about a young boy who goes on a pirate adventure with his dad and dog Scout. The four boys I babysit for really loved this book when I read it to them. I knew they would because the oldest Kyle loves to pretend he is a pirate. It probably also had to do with the fact that it came wih a sword, pirate hat, and gold coin. It had really great pictures in it as well that the kids enjoyed. For this book, I decided to write an acrostic poem spelling the word pirate.

Plank is used to cross over to the deserted island.
Islands hidden with different treasures for his Dad, Scout and himself to uncover secret pleasures.
Retrieving the gold coin secretly placed for the child to pass the family's pirate test.
Adventures galore as a dad and his son explore
Teaching his son all about pirate fun
Escaping from reality with a very imaginative family.
