My Pirate’s Tale
By Bonnie Lee Medeiros
My Pirate’s Tale is a treasure chest adventure kit, complete with a delightful children’s storybook and props that allow parents to enliven reading time in a whole new way.This wonderfully told children’s story is about a young boy named David who receives a treasure chest for his birthday. The chest is filled with everything he needs to be a great pirate, including a very special telescope! This telescope magically transports him to a pirate ship in the middle of the ocean, where he meets Captain Charlie, a salty parrot who invites David to join him on his treasure-seeking adventure.
I have the girliest of girls but even they can appreciate the awesomeness that is pirates. Big Sis loves going around pretending to be a pirate so when I got a chance to review My Pirate’s Tale I jumped at the chance…and secretly I LOVE pirates and any time I can share my pirate love with my girls I get excited.
When it arrives it comes all inside a pirate treasure chest…I mean how else would you expect it to arrive?
Then I open it up to a bounty of pirate goodness.
Each chest contains:
- One-of-a-kind, customizable storybook/photo album
- Pirate Booty Bag with 5 Gold Coins
- Pirate Flag
- Eye Patch
- Magnetic Compass
- Pirate Head Bandana
- Telescope
- Silver Skull Ring
- 6 Pirate-themed Tattoos
- Treasure Map
- Helpful Tips and How-To’s for personalizing your storybook
Embellishment Kit includes:
Use to personalize your pirate chest and more!
- 1 Pack of Pirate Crayons
- 2 Pirate Self-Inked Stampers
- 3 Pirate Puffy Stickers
- 2 Bottles of Pirate Paint
(Some contents may vary due to availability)
I will admit ours did not come with the eye patch much to my sadness as it would have made the pictures for the book much cuter.
All open and ripe for the plundering.
My Pirate’s Tale Includes the book for which the adventure is all about. It is spiral bound and wherever you see the boy with the red striped shirt is a slot for a 4 by 6 standard picture. Just snap a picture of your child in the exact pose so that the picture goes along with the story. The story itself is very cute and well written…the whole family likes to hear it all the time.
Here is Big Sis copying the pose in the upper left hand side of the book from the picture above.
No pirate adventure is complete without the treasure map. Big Sis used it to navigate the front yard looking for treasure.
I absolutely love the My Pirate Tale treasure chest kit. Not only did Big Sis have a blast playing with all the fun pieces but you use the props to help set the scene in the pictures so your child becomes part of the story. Big Sis loved posing for all the pictures in the book despite the fact that she does not take direction well.
I also let Big Sis decorate the inside of the chest with the embellishment kit and that kept her busy for almost an hour. It takes a super awesome toy for her to be into one thing for that long. She was extremely proud of her chest after it was all decorated.
If you know a pirate lover this would make the perfect gift for them. Long after they are done playing with all the cool pirate toys they still have the book that can be read time and time again. As your child gets older just snap new pictures to update the book and make it exciting all over again.
