I liked this book a lot it is one of the better who was books

Before reading this book I thought Blackbeard was a myth or a legend. I thought it didn't have to much information above it where he was at in the world like he was at England then he got to the coast of North Carolina it was kind of confusing. I like that they didn't know much about he like his real name it could have been Edward teach or it could of been something else. He seamed like a very very powerful person with like six ships and sixty cannons. What I liked most about the book was that h...

Interesting facts

Blackbeard by James Buckley jr. Blackbeard is a legendary pirate who fights British soldiers for fun and takes treasure and prize whenever he has a chance. Will Blackbeard find his big prize or will he continue swashbuckling read this book to find out. In my opinion this book was amazing it had a bunch of legendary stories about Blackbeard . This book made me believe he was the best pirate around and that is why I have this book five stars. I recommend this book to people who need a quick easy r...

My students and I enjoyed this entertaining book. The history is written in an engaging manner, and as a teacher I appreciate that it’s thorough without being overwhelming and/or monotonous. The accounts of Edward Teach, a.k.a. Blackbeard, are fascinating, as well as the close look at piracy of time.The snippets of information, like the paragraphs on scurvy, serve to expand upon the social history, customs, geography, etc... and are a fun way to encourage students with further studies about said...

Fascinating!!!

My favorite holiday to celebrate with my kiddos is International Speak Like a Pirate Day on September 19. As part of the festivities this year, I read this book to them the prior week and then we used it to practice writing research papers for our Wax Museum reports. The funniest part was about halfway through, when several of the kids were like "Wait, this is a true story?!" :p Lol. I did tell them it was a biography, but *SHOCK* some of them weren't listening. Fabulous series! I love it!Review...

The second book that I read for my nonfiction book report is "Who Was Blackbeard" by James Buckley Jr. The main character is Edward Teach a.k.a Blackbeard. It is about Blackbeard and his adventures as a pirate. I like everything about this book like how there were no boring parts. There was nothing in this book that I did not like. I would recommend this book to everybody because there is no strong vocabulary and nothing that is too hard to read.

Who Was Blackbeard is about Blackbeard's life. When Blackbeard was young (around 1695) he was know as Edward Teach and he dreamed of being a Captain. When Blackbeard was 23, he got his sailing license. He was hired to a ship that later he took over. After taking over many ships, he was killed by Lieutenant Robert Maynard. He became know as Blackbeard because that was what he wanted to be called by his crew and the word spread. Blackbeard was not bad person or a good person. He was just a power h...

The book blackbeard by James Buckley jr was quite interesting. He starts off living normal he's real name was Edward teach and was born in Bristol of course. He was obviously born there because bristol was one of the busiest port in England. He later started working for a sailor himself and was known for working in queen Anne's war that lasted eleven years. And Edward saw himself becoming a sailor and had to accomplish many skills that he was actually really good at.But during the war sailors wo...

Fun children's book about Edward Teach. It also covered the life and context of pirates in the early 1700s. There were a lot of things that I didn't know about pirates. This was a fast read and enjoyable.

As with most of these books I loved it! My daughter (5) asked lots of questions and I felt she learned a bunch. She loves pirates and was super excited I bought this book for her! The only reason it didn't get 5 stars was it was a little graphic about Blackbeards death. For older kids it was fine but for my 5 year old I left a lot of it out (such as he get beheaded). But overall, well written, lots of information and enjoyable for both adults and kids.

This book was ok I didn't enjoy it as much as the others I've read, but I thought it was interesting. One thing I liked about this book is it disproved many things about pirates like "walking the plank" and "buried treasure" ,and it gave very good explanations about them. Another thing that I personally liked was it tells you that nobody really knows what his birth name was, and in my opinion that was probably the most interesting thing I learned. If I were the author some things I would have in...

very interesting

This was a really interesting nonfiction book. I didn't even know Blackbeard was actually real, and was a pirate. I learned a lot from this book and surprised by many details about Blackbeard. I chose this book because I used to really like the Pirates of the Caribbean movie series. An important lesson I learned is that your never totally safe, something can always surprise you. If I could rewrite this book I would give more detail in what their ships looked like and what other pirates looked li...

My Review: I haven't read many of these Who Was books and they are a little advanced for Munchkin yet (equivalent to a level 4 maybe in the early reader books), but I really like that there are so many non-fiction books to choose from. This was a great book to pickup as part of my pirate month. Not only did we find out Blackbeard and how his legend came to be (and ended) but it also debunked several pirate myths as well as point out facts about them. It was very informative, but still enjoyable

Interesting!Who was Blackbeard?By James Buckley A great addition to the series! An informative and interesting book of a terrifying seaman and crook! Maybe they should have a book on Maynard, the man who finally got him!

Good biography for upper elementary students.

I read this book along with the audio from https://pt.scribd.com, that is a new site here in Brazil. It's quite easier to read a book hearing the audio at the same time. I learned a lot about real pirates, because the movies and fiction books make up too many things about them.

This was a great book it is a very good page turner. This book would be great for any 5th, 4th, or 3rd grader who enjoy good history books. This book talks about Blackbeard and his life and all the battles he had.
