Talk Like a Pirate!

Ahoy, me maties! Tomorrow, September 19,  is Talk Like a Pirate Day!

 Don't let it pass uncelebrated.  Here are a few suggestions:

• Change your LibraryThing account from English to "Piratical."
• Use Google in Pirate.  (to sign out, "Catch the outgoin' tide")
• Try the English-to-Pirate translator.
• Make some piratey crafts.
• And of course, READ like a pirate, too! 

Here are a few that I've read and reviewed, or choose your favorites.

• Foley, Lizzie K. 2012. Remarkable. New York: Dial. (funny and quirky middle-grade fiction)
• Wolfe, Myra. 2011. Charlotte Jane Battles Bedtime. Ill. by Maria Monescillo. New York: Harcourt. (humorous picture book for ornery pirates at bedtime)
• Reinier, Aaron. 2010. The Unsinkable Walker Bean. New York: First Second (:01). (a swashbuckling graphic novel adventure)
• Clifford, Barry. 2008. Real Pirates: The Untold Story of the Whydah from Slave Ship to Pirate Ship.Washington, DC: National Geographic. (nonfiction for older readers)
