review 1: This story of a small boy who wishes to live the sea-faring life and will take any job to get there doesn't make the best readaloud (you have to stop and explain the finely detailed pictures a lot in order to understand the story and the pictures are so small that groups find them difficult to see)but is well-received by students nevertheless. The message is good: everyone has a useful contribution to make in the world and should be appreciated.
review 2: Saul is born to be on the sea. But the Navy has a height requirement, and, well, he's Small Saul. So he goes to Pirate College, and works hard to become a good pirate, but with difficulty: he likes flowers, purple bunnies, and home decor, none of which impress his piratical colleagues much. But after pushing ... moreSaul overboard because of the purple bunnies and decorating, the pirates realize they don't actually like bedrooms that smell of feet and moldy decks, so they rescue Saul, and all live happily ever after. A fun book about being who you are and being different, with a pirate theme, which is a lot more fun than most books on the subject. Probably best for kids over five. less
