Greenbeard the Pirate Pig

September 18, 2013 by OneMommy

 

 

Argh!   Ahoy, Mateys!  Be ye ready for adventure?

Well, me hardies, climb aboard and give me an ear, for I’ve a tale to tell…

 

A tale to tell about a pirate book that is!

Pirates seem to be a favorite among many kids — mine included!  We have celebrated Pirate Day with plenty of pirate adventures, and have read  a few a bunch of pirate books over the years.

“Talk like a Pirate Day” is fast approaching, and what better way to celebrate pirates than with a treasure hunt?

This week we had a little treasure hunt of our own before bedtime.

The prize?Greenbeard the PIrate PIg Review

A fun new pirate book and super cute stuffed animal — perfect for bedtime!

(This is a sponsored post; all opinions are 100% my own.)

Greenbeard the Pirate Pig, by Andrea Torrey Balsara, is fun book about a guinea pig named Greenbeard who starts off as a farmer and seeks adventure as a pirate.  Along the way he meets Snug Rumkin, a rat, who tries to teach him the proper ways of being a pirate.

My kids love the fact that Greenbeard chooses to carry a carrot for a sword; after all, he says, “If the sword were sharp, someone could get hurt!”

Part of the book includes a pirate song that Greenbeard makes up to sing.  I have to say it’s pretty catchy; my daughter was singing it to herself when she flipped through the pages of the book before she crawled into bed.  Greenbeard the Pirate Pig Review

    We are celebrating Pirate Day at school today! We are right in the middle of comparing fiction and non-fiction, so I’ll be reading Pirates Don’t Change Diapers and comparing it to a non-fiction story about Blackbeard that I got off of Reading A-Z.

      How fun! I used to do a little bit for Talk Like a Pirate Day when I taught — it’s nice to do something a bit different!

    This book sounds perfect for Talk Like A Pirate Day and my son is obsessed with hamsters, mice, gerbils and guinea pigs. I would definitely give this book to my son. Thanks for hosting this giveaway.

    I would most definitely share this book with my daughter, Ellie! She LOVES pirates — and was dubbed a princess pirate at WDW — by none other than Jack Sparrow himself. She still has the certificate hanging on her wall. 🙂

    We have a full blown pirate week here at the end of every summer! It’s awesome because the local library sponsors it and has (mostly) kid friendly pirate programs on several of the days…at the end the pirates “sail in” to the boardwalk and pass out booty.
    My little pirate troop would love such a prize to gear them up for next summer’s sail in!

    My toddler son would love this book! He has a play house with a big wheel to spin on it that we pretend is a pirate’s ship. He laughs hysterically when I sing pirate phrases while he plays!
