This book was bought for my 6 year old son who is home schooled at the second grade level. He found this book fun and educational and went through it in no time, but was able to learn from it in doing so.

My son loves this book. I did not have any idea but I found this book has many reviews at Amazon. So I purchased it. Now this is one of my son's favorite books.

I was lucky enough to receive a review copy of The Sneakiest Pirate.  I read it to my 6 year old son, and he was so psyched that we were reading a book that was written by a kid not much older than himself.

His favorite part of the book was the illustrations.  He kept asking me who drew the pictures 'on' the book.  He really liked the story, and REALLY liked that the pictures perfectly coincided with the words.

I don't think I have ever seen him so entertained.  I don't know if it was the book as much as the awe that it was written by someone his age.

Either way, it was an excellent read.  And I would recommend it for ANY parent of a 4-8 year old boy.  Honestly, I think it had much more than entertainment value for my son.  He is now inspired to improve his reading and writing so that he can write books too.  And any book that inspires learning is invaluable...

I highly recommend this book. I purchased it for my 10 year old thinking I was wasting my money; but he read it and was telling me what he was reading and learning as he read a chapter or section. Its as if my child was woke up and now loves to learn and read about history now. He even has his older brother and sister waiting to read the book. I would suggest the book for all children able to read as a birthday or Christmas present, the book is that good and well worth the cost. Should be a number-1 best seller.

My 7-year-old son just loved this book.  He got it a couple of days ago and asked us to read it to him several times.  Now he reads it to us.  He is just so fascinated with it.  It has prompted him to draw his own  pictures of ants and other insects that are written about in the book. It  is told in interesting way that is well illustrated, easy to understand and  lots of fun to read.  My son just loves to read it over and over again.  I  highly recommend it!

My six year old son loved this book:
... the illustrations,
...the balance of adventure/hope/andjustalittlebitscary,
...the flip between narrators - at times the boy, at times the toys...even the scary ones
...the completely relatable young male protagonist
...an excellent ending to pull it all together

We bought this book after seeing it in the bookstore - beautiful illustrations and my son is an Oliver so it was purchased on a lark.  But it's now one of my son's most treasured books - read once cover to cover (I read a chapter sometimes two a night w/him - and loved it as much as he did) once but I'm sure it will be again...and chapters read again here and there.  His 8 year old sister read it on her own and also enjoyed it, but i think the nature of the protagonist makes it particularly appealing to young boys.  I'm actually back online to see what else was written by this author.

My son got this book at an elementary book fair. I usually have to force him to read 30 minutes a day, but with this book he won't put it down. He is constantly giggling while reading. He is enjoying it so much. Getting ready to order his other series.

I was worried this would be too boring when I read through it, but my son liked it enough to ask for it again the next night, and it quickly became one of his favorites. He has never seen snow or a snow plow but now understands exactly what is happening in the story and has parts of it memorized. He loves matching the buildings in the snow covered city to the ones on the original map earlier in the book. it is fun for me to see how his brain is going a million miles an hour trying to figure out everything that is going on.

My son and I went to the library one day to check out books. We happened to check this book out titled Flim-Flam Fairies. Once we got home and I read it to him for the first time, he loved the story so much that we read it everynight until I had to return it back to the library. He loves this book so much that I had to buy it for him. We read it quite often and he has even taken this book to school to share it with his teacher and classmates. My son has plenty of books to read, but this book is the first one that I have seen him get so excited about, he has to tell everyone about this book. I am glad that he has shown interest in this book, I think this will motivate him to have that desire to one day read it for himself.

I strongly recommend this book for sons and daughters who loves fiction novels. My son is 13 years old, he could not put down this book. He finished within one week. After he read this book, he asked me to buy 2nd book. I bought it. He loved it so much.

My 6-year-old son and I both loved this book. The story was captivating --- so much so that we've reread this several times on our Kindle already. I love stories about dogs as heroes, and my son just loves a good story, period. Another way I know he loved the book: He's still quoting a line that's mentioned several times in the book. Highly recommended.

I heard quite a bit about this book and bought it for my 5 year old son for Christmas.  When he opened it, he was not initially excited.  He only acquiesced to it as a bedtime story when I suggested reading it when I said we could read two books that night -- one he chose and then this one.  He LOVED this one and as soon as we were done, he said he wanted us to read it again the next day.  We've read it every day since.

I bought a few copies to give as birthday gifts, as he has 3 birthday parties this month.  He is excited that we are giving this book as a birthday gift to his friends and has stated that they are going to love it.  I hope they love it as much as we do.

My son is actually pretty young (almost 5 ) but he enjoyed this story as much as I did. It's fast paced and a quick read. The art within the book allowed me to let me son see the images and use them to connect with the story. I hope this book continues my son loved the main character as did I. Highly recommended.
