Broken Keys Publishing & Press is proud to announce we will very soon be adding James MacIntyre's Bo, the Far-Too Polite Pirate (with illustrations by Marina Kondrakhina) to our library!
Bo, the Far-Too Polite Pirate is a story about a young boy who was born into a family of pirates. He enjoys tall tale pirate adventure stories and songs they share but when he goes out on an actual pirate attack. He soon discovers "The Pirate Life" is not for him. He fails miserably at being a pirate, so his dad insists he attend Pirate Training School. After several misadventures and failures at the school, he decides if he is to be a pirate, he will be a nice pirate. He shares the treasures he finds, rescues other pirates in peril and generally does kind things. This eventually wins his crew over but further angers his father and his teachers.
This story speaks to anyone who have been bullied or forced to conform, or to parents that need to let their little ones grow and learn and be themselves. This story also allows for so many further adventures as Bo teaches others about being kind and considerate.
With everyday situations that kids must face in the real world. Now throw in a little magic and fantasy. Now you have charming tales that will enthrall young audiences.
The perfect Storytime book series for both boys and girls ages 3-7 / Grades: K-2.
Parents, teachers, librarians, and kids will appreciate the familiar situations and appropriate language.
