Pirates' Treasure (Tumtum and Nutmeg #3) Reviews
-
Such a sweet story of two mice who always seem to get into the middle of some kind of adventure! I'm really looking forward to reading the next volumes in the series!
Tumtum and Nutmeg decide to supervise Lucy and Arthur Mildew when they go camping. Of course, General Marchmouse turns up, and he is the one who unfortunately gets them all into the middle of an adventure... in which rat-pirates are involved... -
What a treat to read-aloud an engaging, short novel. Sometimes I grow weary of reading aloud great, but dense books and trying to keep my kids from bickering about who sits where and whose leg or arm is touching whose.
Anyway, they loved this one even though it's been almost two years since we read the last one. A great early chapter book read-aloud, or a change of pace for more experienced listeners.
Read-aloud, boys, ages 10, 8, 5. -
On the one hand, Tumtum and Nutmeg are pretty great. This story takes us further from the house than the previous two books, and the change in setting is appreciated. This book is also darker than the previous two, and it involves less interaction with the humans.
On the other hand, General Marchmouse gets more and more annoying with each book, never fully gets a comeuppance, and really shouldn't still be alive. His comic relief stretches thin. -
Another delightful story with Tumtum and Nutmeg. The General gets them into another scrap t they have to get themselves out of. Surprised that the General ever became a general as he does not have the best sense.

***Spoiler!***
Another fun adventure in the Tumtum and Nutmeg series, but...
My opinion, for such a young children's novel, having a large plot point be about getting characters too drunk to function seems like not the best idea... -
The third book of Tumtum and Nutmeg, the Pirates' Treasure is a pretty good book. I liked the pictures in the book. I would give this book 3.7 stars.

Read to Sarah Grace and loved it the third time, too! :)

I can’t get enough of Tumtum and Nutmeg!

An adorable story, just as cute as books #1 and #2 in the series. Kids will love the swashbuckling adventure that Arthur, Lucy and General Marchmouse lead Tumtum and Nutmeg into this time -- much against their will. A journey across the giant Pond, where no mouse has ventured before! The story is so adorable, filled with little ingenious tidbits that the author adds in to make the adventure seem so real.
NOTE: Some parents may not approve of the use of alcohol in the story. Mostly it just added a bit of silliness to the plot, because the evil Rats didn't know whether they were going or coming.
Lovely story! Would definitely recommend these books for bedtime stories. -
If you liked Tumtum and Nutmeg, you'll love Tumtum and Nutmeg and the Pitrate's Treasure! Make sure to read this book if you enjoy tales of fantasty and adventure. It seems like household things can be used for much more than we use them for. It seems like ordinary mice may be a lot braver and smarter then we thought them to be. So, read this book of courages mice and there amazing adventures. You never know. There could even be an adventure right in your backyard.

I read relatively slow compared to most people and I still read the whole book in about 1 hour. Loved the book.

Great book. My 5 year old loved it.
