Ned the Knitting Pirate

Ned the Knitting Pirate by Murray, Diana. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781596438903.

The crew of the pirate ship the Rusty Heap are a fearsome bunch! Theyre tougher than gristle and barnacle grit. They heave and they ho and they swab and they . . . knit? Well, one of them does, at least! Unfortunately for Ned, his knitting doesnt go over well with the captain and crew. They urge him to hide his hobby and strive to be scurvier, like pirates should be. But when the briny ocean beast shows up to feast on the Rusty Heap and its crew, maybe Neds knitting is just the ticket to save the day! From author Diana Murray and illustrator Leslie Lammle comes the delightfully salty tale of Ned the Knitting Pirate, a boy whose love for yarn and appliqué just doesnt quite let him fit in, but makes him stand out in the best way, instead. With their appealing angle on individuality, Murrays hilarious characters and Lammles bright illustrations are sure to win over even the most reluctant landlubber.
