About book Small Saul (2011)

Description: Saul is not your typical pirate, but he proves that being yourself makes you very valuable.Reaction: Great for discussing identity, particularly for boys. Saul is a very lovable character! Recommended Level: primarySubjects/Themes: identity, piratesCurriculum Connections: Grade 1 Health - healthy sense of selfAwards: 2012 Saskatchewan Shining Willow Nominee Small Saul is a pirate in his own special way. After completing Pirate College, Saul joins a crew who doesn't appreciate his unique pirate ways. Instead of being rough and tough, Saul is thoughtful, clean, and cheerful. The captain throws Saul overboard and the ship quickly becomes its usual stinky, gross sea home for pirates. They return for Saul, finding him adrift in the ocean, and invite him to continue his civilized pirate ways as part of their crew. I loved Saul's sweet bunny tattoo!Recommended for pirate lovers in first and second grade. It's also a tame enough read aloud for younger listeners.
