It is very difficult to find
Pirate stories that don't glorify violence and gore,
especially for elementary-aged kids. Many are just
not appropriate for younger ones. Not only does "The
Barefoot Book of Pirates" focus on the adventure
aspect of Pirate stories, it contains tales from
around the world. These stories capture your
youngster's imagination and offer a terrific
introduction to international folktales.
"The Barefoot Book of Pirates" is
a bold, colorful and a refreshing option to offer
your Pirate enthusiast. The book is billed as
appropriate for ages 9 +, but my younger kids
thoroughly enjoy it.
