Ned the Knitting Pirate

40 pp. | Roaring Brook | August, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-1-59643-890-3 $16.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Leslie Lammle. Young Ned likes to knit, which doesn't make him popular among his gruff pirate shipmates. But when a ferocious ocean beast attacks the Rusty Heap, the predictable happens: Ned's hobby saves the day, and everyone learns a lesson about acceptance. The tone is kept light by bouncy rhymes with scrappy pirate speak and the illustrations' soft, seafoamy colors and smiley, rounded swashbucklers.
