This was one of the first books I ever read (back in First Grade!) and it captured my imagination like nothing else. It is a story of pursuing pirates, lost treasure, a castaway shipwreck, and deep sea diving. The illustrations are wonderful. Now I have a 6-year-old son who is ready to start reading, and I hope I can find a copy for him.

I am disappointed that this book is so difficult to obtain. It was truely my favorite book as a young boy. The illustrations of rugged tall ships in stormy waves gripped my imagination. The ruddy pirates struck fear in my heart! The pirates are eventually undone in a thrilling and suspensful way that caused me to read the book over and over. My copy is so worn and well loved I was looking for a fresh one to share with my sons! Everyone should look out for "Look out for Pirates"!!!

Yes, I too LOVED this book as a child. I found a dog-eared copy in the library and thought it might still be in print, but alas, no. Easy to read and suspenseful (what kid doesn't like a story about pirates?), it's great fun!
