Comments

Cleodolinda Pinto: Story allows for a lot of creativity and voice intonation. Fun for kids, and bed time read alongs! Will definitely buy more Neil Gaiman books moving forward. Do check out the YouTube video of him reading the book, an absolute delight to listen to!

Beverly H.: Grand child liked it. I found no flow or rhyme to the words. Very busy illustrations.

Christopher A. Byram: My 5-year-old loves this book, and thought the ending was hilarious. We love the illustrations, and as the parent reading the book I'm happy that the cadence of the writing makes it an easy and enjoyable book to read aloud.

Dalila Caria: Livro infantil escrito em rimas com uma história interessante e divertida e ilustrações fantásticas. A minha filha de 10 anos leu o livro todas as noites durante semanas. É bom para crianças que estejam a aprender inglês mas não é demasiado infantil para o grupo etário dos 10-12 anos.

Amazon Customer: When I ordered this book for my 5 year-old nephew, I expected it to be good, but I was not prepared for the stunning beauty of all of the illustrations. It was all I could do to give it to him for Christmas and not keep it for my own collection of children's books. He has not yet read it because he is in the midst of reading all of the books I gave him this year, but I know from past experience how he loves pirates. I hope I won't order another copy for myself. I hope I won't.....

Ty Nan OgTy Nan Og: Cute story and beautifully drawn art. Sort of a Spelljammer faerie tale for today. Pirate stew! Pirate Stew!

My boy is going to love it as a xmas gift I believe. Some of his favorite stories are by Neil and Charles Vess so he is used to the writing style and I hope he likes Chris Riddell's art which I think is fantastic and fantastical. It is full of color and bright vivaciousness with a touch of caricature.

The book is oversized with really high quality color retention paper with hard and thick covers. It is long enough to be a single book to read in a night without having to dip into two books.

Highly recommend.

keepcalmandkeeprockin: As a fan of Neil Gaiman's sci-fi/fantasy/other-world-ly writing and a lover of children's books with beautiful illustrations and strong storylines, I was really looking forward to this book. It definitely did not disappoint. The rhymes feel good, the story is charming and quirky, the illustrations are vibrant and lively -- I can see it being a great book for parents to read to their children. I also love that the book is large enough to feel big for young children (there's something about opening up a big hardcover book and having to use your full arm length to turn the pages when you're still small) and the full-page glorious illustrations tingle all your visual senses.

After I received my copy, I got a second one to send as a Christmas gift to my niece. She's still a little too young to understand all the words, but I think it'll be a good book to expand her vocabulary through a fun narrative. Hopefully her parents will do a silly pirate voice for the Chef! :)

KGBeast: ​Als zwei Eltern zu einem gemütlichen Abend aufbrechen kommt ein überaus ungewöhnlicher Babysitter vorbei - der einarmige, holzbeinige Piratenschiffkoch Long John McRon. Und kaum sind die Ektern fort taucht auch noch der Rest der Mannschaft auf um gemeinsam mit ihm einen Pirateneintopf zu kochen - ein Gericht auf dessen Genuß die beiden Babygesitteten gerne verzichten. Doch dann verwandelt sich ihr Zuhause in ein Schiff und hebt ab und ein schräges Abenteuer in Gedichtform nimmt seinen herrluch albernen Lauf.

Wieder mal eine gelungene Kooperation von Gaiman und Ridell, die hier mal auf eine etwas jüngere Zielgruppe gezielt haben als in ihren etwas düsteren Märchenadaptionen. Aber diesem Erwachsenen haben die Verserzählung und Ridells abgedrehte Illustrationen auch viel Spaß gemacht. Sehr empfohlen.
