Blackbeard, The Pirate King by J. Patrick Lewis

With April being Poetry Month, I wanted to add the 1st poetry book to the blog. It isn't that I don't like poetry books, it is just the ones I love, most kids and teens can find without me. I was worried this one is being overlooked. Doesn't everyone seem to love those pirates in the movies? Did you know that Johnny Depp's look isn't all movie magic? Don't believe me? Read these 13 poems and closely look at all the illustrations. Are they really that ugly? Why would anyone want a pirate life? Want enough info for a 1 - 2 page report and have a fun read while doing it? Enjoy the wild ride of the real life of the most famous pirate of all. And this is no April Fool Joke!
