Items related to Dirty Rotten Pirates
They sailed the seas, pillaging and plundering, crammed into ships no longer than a railroad car. Worms ate the food and munched on the ships' hulls. Life was hard for the bloodthirsty captain and crew, but if they survived the rancid and maggoty grub, the fighting, the fevers, and the malodorous mates with all body parts intact; if they avoided drowning, capture, and swinging from the gallows, there was adventure to be had and a fortune to be made. Discover the real and revolting stories of these robbers of the seas with this thrilling, no-holds-barred full-color illustrated book.

About the Author:
Luke Finlayson is a comic illustrator and animator based in New Zealand. With his passion for daring heroes, dastardly villains and exotic landscapes, Luke is the ideal artist to portray the romantic, but more often rotten, world of pirates.
From School Library Journal:
Gr 4–6—Pirate fans will delight in this collection of legends and rogue adventures that will send readers off on a voyage of history, tidbits, and grisly lore. Each spread covers a different subject, with colorfully illustrated drawings, text boxes, and a plethora of fascinating, often gruesome, facts. For instance, "Yum...Worms Again!" explains how food was hard to preserve and would rot and crawl with maggots. Meanwhile, illustrations show a pirate menu with "pirate bone soup," and a text box explains that "in 1670, Sir Henry Morgan's crew was stranded and had to eat tree bark, leaves, and even their leather satchels." Topics include "Chop, Chop..." (an exploration of medical issues that pirates encountered), "Home, Horrible Home" (a description of the pirate ship), and "We're Behind You" (how pirates attacked their victims), among others. A strong addition.—Melissa Smith, Royal Oak Public Library, MI
