Pirate Princess by Sudipta Bardhan-Quallen

 

Princess Bea isn't like other princesses - she prefers pirate ships above tea parties, the salty sea over silly dolls. But what's a landlocked princess to do? Ahoy, Captain Jack to the rescue! When the captain offers Bea a place aboard his ship, it's a dream come true - until she's put to work swabbing the decks and making dinner for the crew. Can a princess like Bea put her royal gifts to work and make the pirates' see that she's seaworthy after all - or will they make her walk the plank? Pirate Princess by Sudipta Bardhan-Quallen illustrated by Jill McElmurry was published May 2012. 

This book, my kids were really excited to read but none of them enjoyed it. The illustrations were the only saving point in this book. They were colorful and it was really nice to look at the picture. My kids felt like the story-line felt slow and really made them lose interest in the book. I really like the idea but I felt like this book wasn't the best to get it across.
