Content
There are few subjects more fascinating to children than pirates, and they have 1000 questions: How did people become pirates? Are they still around today? What is life like on a pirate ship, and what did pirates do with their treasure? These and many other queries are answered through exciting pictures and historically accurate information.
About the Series
The WWW series stands out for its playful, enticing way of conveying just the information that kids want to know. Centered on who-what-how questions, the titles in the series explore subjects of great interest to young children. The thousands of questions children ask daily are answered by means of interactive elements, engaging illustrations, and age-appropriate texts. Because the lively illustrations convey so much, the books hold children's interest even without an adult to read the clear, friendly texts. WWW is ideally suited for preschool and kindergarten ages, for children 4 to 7 years old.
