Patrick was the youngest pirate on the 'Salty Sardine'. He was always in trouble because he loved to read and kept forgetting to do his jobs. One day, the ship reached an island and Patrick suddenly became a hero.

A beautifully illustrated picture book about pirates, reading, relationships and treasure. The book aims to raise awareness of the importance of reading in children ages 4-9 years. A fun to read out loud book with a glossary of high interest pirate words, challenging societal perceptions of 'treasure'.

Industry Reviews

Once again, the author has produced an absolutely delightful high quality picture book.

Its deceptively simple repetitive text, cleverly encapsulates the strong message that reading can be fun. Exquisitely illustrated, the book is bold, bright, beautiful and captivating.

Pirates Don't Read!, is a funny, inspiring, educational, quality picture book that every child will treasure. It gets an unequivocal 5 star rating from me.

Robin Adolphs writes with a rhythmic style that demonstrates a sense of fun. She brings the characters to life in a succinct and deft

manner where attitudes of the characters are changed through a subtle process as the story progresses.I highly recommend

Pirates Don’t Read! as it is a thoroughly enjoyable story. It is very relevant to young readers and is one that would encourage

children to read for enjoyment. I can’t wait to read other stories by Robin Adolphs.
