Just right for aspiring pirates, this one-year journal provides funny, short commentary and bright illustrations that cover the basics, such as speaking like a buccaneer, walking the plank, and digging up buried treasure. Famous pirates from fiction and real life also appear, and the blank pages have ruled lines to keep a child's outpourings legible. Foil blocking on the cover and glittery effects inside add to the appeal, and seven-day views on facing pages are not specific to any particular calendar year, allowing the journal to be used at any time.
