We received a copy of Jake and the Never Land Pirates: Battle for the Book on DVD to watch and review. Opinions are 100% our own.
Eva and I sat down to watch this DVD because she is a fan of Izzy from Jake and the Never Land Pirates. Izzy has always been her favorite character. Even after watching the show Eva does some pretend play as Izzy. At this point in the series Jake and the Never Land Pirates have met a lot of people who are part of the Never Land mythos. They have met Peter Pan and Tinker Bell and now they I think this is the first time that Wendy and John and Michael have been on the show. The basic story to this episode is that Jake and his pals are recruited by none other than Peter Pan to help Wendy and the Darling children when Captain Hook steals Wendy’s book of stories about Never Land.
The episode is a good one with lots of fun where the “puny pirates” are working together to help save the book from Captain Hook. Captain Hook does not like hearing himself portrayed as a bumbling oaf and that is why he sets off to steal Wendy’s Book. Through the course of the story we learn that it is Wendy’s book that is keeping their stories including Captain Hook’s story alive. Without the book then their stories cannot be told or shared.
The DVD also contains additional 4 additional episodes plus 10 cartoon shorts, “Jake’s Never Land Pirate School” and an exclusive pirate bandana that doubles as a checkerboard. You’ve to to pass the time sailing on Bucky or the Jolly Roger somehow. Why not play some checkers.
Here are some fun activity sheets that you can print out and play.

Jake and the Never Land Pirates is one of the cuter shows to come out of Disney Junior in a while. Eva, who had a hangup about Captain Hook being scary (Thanks Mom for showing her the terrifying 1930 play on a shakey old vcr tape) is totally in love with this series. The show centers around Jake, a young pirate kid, his friends Izzy and Cubby. They have a magical pirate ship named Bucky and a talking parrot named Skully and how they solve pirate problems. In each episode Captain Hook and Smee attempt to steal things from the “puny pirates”. Captain Hook also have a couple of crew members Sharky and Bones. They are not only pirates but provide fun music in the episode. We have a fun time watching this show together. It has made her stop being afraid of pirates.
