Book Reviews of You Wouldn't Want to Sail on a 19th Century Whaling Ship!: Grisly Tasks You'd Rather Not Do (You Wouldn't Want to...)
Book Review: Gruesome but fun
Summary: 5 Stars
My 8 year old likes facts and comicbook style illustrations, and whales...so this type of book is just for him.
But beware, this book describes the gruesome voyage of the Essex, which featured cannibalism...a sea captain eating his young cousin. I was nervous that my child, who is the sensitive type, would get nightmares from this book, but somehow the lighthearted illustrations take away some of the sting. In fact, he often pulls out this book to read at bedtime!
Still, be forewarned, these books are not for the squeamish. And I certainly wouldn't read them to the 4-6 set. I'd say the correct age range is something like 8-11.
