Children's Literature
The "Magic Tree House" series has found a niche by creating companion books: a fiction adventure novel has a companion nonfiction book that provides an in-depth look at the topic from a different perspective. This book is the nonfiction accompaniment to Pirates Past Noon by the same authors. In Pirates, readers learn the history of piracy from its Greek origins 3000 years ago to the modern pirates of the 1800s. Ships, treasures, maps, voyage routes, strategies, weapons and pirate ship etiquette are among the topics covered in this comically illustrated book. Fun facts are highlighted and terms are well-defined. A history unit can easily be built around these companion books. 2001, Random House, $4.99. Ages 8 to 12. Reviewer: Carol Lynch
