After reading it, these were their comments:
Oldest (girl): I loved that story!
Middle (girl): I liked it--Molly likes it too! (our dog)
Youngest (boy): So funny. I want another one.
Oldest (girl): I loved that they got cake at the end.
Youngest (boy): And a kiss!
My kids are 8,6, and 4 years old. I was surprised and pleased at how much they enjoyed the story. They laughed throughout the story (just as I did the first time I read it). As a mom, I loved the story because of the affectionate tone about moms and what they told their sons. I also love it because it's a pirate story without skulls and cross bones. Most pirate stories I've found have these in it, because skulls and crossbones represent death. I want my son to imagine stories about the adventures on the sea--not death and violence. I suppose I might be naive in that, but that's okay with me.
I highly recommend this to any mom of a boy who loves pirates. Snuggle up on the couch. It might also be a good bedtime story to read aloud as your sons or daughters are going to sleep. And I do suspect that your daughters will love it too (just like mine!).
