In Pirate Campout, Jake and the Never Land Pirates go on a hiking and camping trip to Doubloon Lagoon. Captain Hook and his crew join the trip thinking that there is gold there because it is named Doubloon.
As a World of Reading Level 1 reader, this book features simple text and word repetition. Usually the Disney World of Reading books do this and create a cohesive plot, but in Pirate Campout the plot to some extent oversimplified to the point the flow of the story seems rather disjointed at points.
Overall Pirate Campout can be a good choice for early readers interested in hiking, camping, and/or outdoor adventures. While the plot has some flow issues, it still a mostly complete plot and a good fit for those familiar with the episode. The book also has the corner text commonly in Jake and the Never Land Pirates books, which adds jokes and encourages looking closer at the illustrations to answer questions.
