Murray, Diana Ned the Knitting Pirate, illustrated by Leslie
Lammle. PICTURE BOOK. Roaring Brook (Macmillan), 2016.
While the other pirates like to hunt for treasure and sing
pirate-y songs, Ned likes to knit. The
captain yells and threatens Ned to stop his knitting, so Ned packs up his hobby
until the day that his knitting skills are needed to save the day.
I found Murray’s book to be quite funny, akin to other comic
pirate picture books (Small Saul, Henry and the Buccaneer Bunnies, The Pirate
Cruncher). A fun addition to Talk Like a
Pirate Day, or as part of a knitting activity.
EL (K-3) – ADVISABLE.
