"There was an old pirate who swallowed a map. I don't know why she swallowed that map but it wasn't a trap."
THERE WAS AN OLD PIRATE WHO SWALLOWED A MAP is written the same way as the previous books. It features an old lady who swallows all kinds of things. In this one, she swallows things related to a pirate like an anchor and a line.
I feel like this one didn't read a smoothly as the previous ones, but it is still a very entertaining read. It is full of silliness and piracy. In the back of the book, there are facts about pirates and even a search and find activity. I love the concept of this series and it's so much fun to read with my little girl.
Final Verdict: I would recommend this to children who like pirates, rhyming, and fun stories full of humor. The facts also give it some learning value.
