Pirate Stew

If Neil Gaiman’s name is on it I am going to read it. Absolutely delightful children’s tale -for any age. Lovely read aloud. The kindle book lets you zoom in and out and focus on different parts - makes reading it over and over ‘less painful’ at the 100th time ;) Seriously though, it has great illustrations which add to the reading experience and a lovely charming story. I also own the book format. Glad the library has audio.

A great story for your favorite child 🚸! Beautiful illustration, funny rhyming, easy to follow along story! I enjoy reading it aloud to myself as a Voiceover Artist!

My kids loved this book! Funny, great rhyming rhythm, and rich descriptive language. Great for vocabulary!

We checked this out from our library several times and finally bought our own copy. Cute story and love the illustrations too.

It’s a great book, and really fun to read to kids, it’s become one of my 2 year olds favorite book

Cute story and beautifully drawn art. Sort of a Spelljammer faerie tale for today. Pirate stew! Pirate Stew!My boy is going to love it as a xmas gift I believe. Some of his favorite stories are by Neil and Charles Vess so he is used to the writing style and I hope he likes Chris Riddell's art which I think is fantastic and fantastical. It is full of color and bright vivaciousness with a touch of caricature.The book is oversized with really high quality color retention paper with hard and thick covers. It is long enough to be a single book to read in a night without having to dip into two books.Highly recommend.

My 5-year-old loves this book, and thought the ending was hilarious. We love the illustrations, and as the parent reading the book I'm happy that the cadence of the writing makes it an easy and enjoyable book to read aloud.

I'm a big Neil Gaiman fan so I had high hopes for this kids book. Illustrations are wonderfully diverse but the meter/rhythm of the story just isn't great.

Story allows for a lot of creativity and voice intonation. Fun for kids, and bed time read alongs! Will definitely buy more Neil Gaiman books moving forward. Do check out the YouTube video of him reading the book, an absolute delight to listen to!

Get your best pirate accent on the go and get this book in your life! My little girl loves it. Rich illustrations, a really fun tale and gorgeous rhymes combine. It’s just great.

Livro infantil escrito em rimas com uma história interessante e divertida e ilustrações fantásticas. A minha filha de 10 anos leu o livro todas as noites durante semanas. É bom para crianças que estejam a aprender inglês mas não é demasiado infantil para o grupo etário dos 10-12 anos.

As a fan of Neil Gaiman's sci-fi/fantasy/other-world-ly writing and a lover of children's books with beautiful illustrations and strong storylines, I was really looking forward to this book. It definitely did not disappoint. The rhymes feel good, the story is charming and quirky, the illustrations are vibrant and lively -- I can see it being a great book for parents to read to their children. I also love that the book is large enough to feel big for young children (there's something about opening up a big hardcover book and having to use your full arm length to turn the pages when you're still small) and the full-page glorious illustrations tingle all your visual senses.After I received my copy, I got a second one to send as a Christmas gift to my niece. She's still a little too young to understand all the words, but I think it'll be a good book to expand her vocabulary through a fun narrative. Hopefully her parents will do a silly pirate voice for the Chef! :)

My kid loved it, and her parents too.
