Praise for Grandma and The Pirates:

Canadian Children's Book Centre, Our Choice, 1991Shortlist, Ruth Schwartz Children's Book Award, 1991

"Gilman's action-packed illustrations provide a perfect counterpoint to her exuberant text." —Quill & Quire

"Phoebe Gilman not only knows a good story, she knows how to write it well and draw it superbly." —Canadian Children's Literature

"[F]ull of hyperbole and humour — the kind of story that provokes the response: 'Read it again, please?'" —CM

"[C]ertain to become a classic for young Canadian children, and a favourite gift from grandmothers." —Canadian Book Review Annual

"This rollicking adventure of a feisty grandmother and grand-daughter who are captured by pirates has everything a good yarn should: humour, suspense, a happy ending, and a heroine who uses her head." —Today's Parent

Overall rating: 4.5 / 5 from 8 reviews.

Reviews

Love Phoebe Gilman, but a little intense

"Phoebe Gilman is a winner! But this book deals with some bigger content like kidnapping that is kinda intense for a children’s book"

— L L. (3/5)

Grandma and the Pirate

"'Grandma and the Pirates"" is a book my daughter loved. Now my son has a daughter and she loves this book. Now, it is easy to find a book where a little girl is a heroine. When this book was published in the '80's it wasn't. Thank you, Phoebe Gilman for being one of first authors to know that girls can have brave adventures."

— V M. (5/5)

Another great Grandma

"So much fun from my favorite children's writer and illustrator Phoebe Gilman. I wish someone would re-publish The Gypsy Princess, one of my all time favorite books."

— SL S. (5/5)

Grandma’s noodles save the day!

"This is a family favourite—written by a Canadian author. Humorous and sweet, featuring a determined and smart grandma and grandchild"

— Joapplebutter (5/5)

Classic

"Cute story, beautifully animated, and fun for both caregivers and kids!"

— Graham (4/5)

Sweet story

"A favourite from when I was a kid. My daughter loves it as much as a 2 month old can… LOL."

— Mommy (4/5)

One of the bests from this author

"This is another great book by Phoebe Gilman!"

— Laurel (5/5)

Childhood favourite

"I used to make my mom read this book to me daily, I recently purchased a new copy to have at home as well as at grandma's. The story is great as well as the pictures. Is a must read for children."

— Katarina (5/5)
