Even before a certain huge Hollywood film reignited everyone's passion for pirates, they were doing quite well on their own, thank you! We've never lost our fascination for these swashbuckling villains, the real ones of history or the ones who've lived only in story and legend. They've certainly gotten hold of Pat Croce-he's opened an outrageously entertaining pirate museum in Key West, he searches for pirate treasure, and he's created this super-fun book. My Pop-Pop Is a Pirate is an exciting interactive experience with foil, lift-up flaps, pull tabs, 3-D touch-and-feel elements, and more! And, as if that's not enough, it all ends with a breathtaking pop-up surprise. The adventure begins when a little girl reveals during show-and-tell” that her grandfather is a pirate. Her class and teacher laugh until a trip to the harbor gets them thinking! Be there for the shiver-me-timbers shocker at the end.

Climb aboard the Queen Anne's Revenge and sail with the most notorious pirate of all time, Blackbeard! No one has struck terror into the hearts of men more than Edward Teach, whose big black beard gave him his name. From merchant ships to naval vessels, no target was safe from Blackbeard's bloodthirsty desire to take prizes along the Atlantic coast and Caribbean. And now, the legend of Blackbeard will rise again as a main character in the upcoming film, Pirates of the Caribbean 4: On Stranger Tides. The Disney series has already grossed over two billion dollars, and this new installment--featuring the greatest pirate of all time as Captain Jack Sparrow's nemesis--is sure to be a major blockbuster when it releases in Summer 2011.
But first, bone up on the true history of this real American villain in our beautifully illustrated edition of Blackbeard, penned by world renowned pirate expert, Pat Croce.

For more than 30 years, Pat Croce's fascination with swashbuckling pirates led him to collect hundreds of the rarest and most authentic pirate artifacts in the world, which today can be found at his St. Augustine Pirate &amp; Treasure Museum. Croce, a pirate historian and New York Times bestselling author, based this book on the museum's prolific contents and the undeniable role that pirates and piracy played in shaping St. Augustine's history--and the very ground upon which the museum was built.
