After a not too busy few weeks it seems spring activities are really picking up! The girls have had soccer practice on the weekends, there are birthdays and other life even celebrations happening. My reading time has really taken a nose dive. Thank goodness for all the reading I got done in the winter, that way I can keep the posts coming.
Synopsis
Captain Burnt Beard's piratey crew have to unload their treasure, but, all their usual burial places are full so they decide to look inland to the town of Old Cheyenne. Only problem is that is where Black Bob McKraw and his posse like to hang out. What will happen when these two groups meet?
My Thoughts
This was such a cool book. I loved the whole idea of the pirates and cowboys not being able to understand each other because of all the slang each group has. Even though a lot of slang was used you can still understand what they are trying to say and where the story is going. It was a great way to introduce the kids to pirate and cowboy language and what it means.
I loved how the situation was resolved with Pegleg Highnoon, the only pirate cowboy around. I won't go into details of how he defused the situation, other then it was great and the kids got a kick out of it.
I think this will be a book that adults and kids a like will love and want to read again. My two year old didn't really respond to it too much other than pointing out the animals, so it is definitely more a four year old an up type of book.
