If it’s September 19, then it’s International Talk Like a Pirate Day!
I haven't talked about pirates on this blog for quite some time and we haven't done a display of pirate books in the library for a long time either. They were out of favour...no longer birthday party themes or part of small boy's game play. So I weeded quite a lot of titles. While deciding whether to weed more, I realised that this day was coming up and we decided why not put out a table full of titles and see what is borrowed. Well the preschoolers have thoroughly enjoyed browsing through them and many have gone home.
Next I'll put out some of the chapter books and see if Year 1 and 2 borrow any.
As well as Pirates Love Underpants we have kept these picture books among others:
• How I Became a Pirate by Melinda Long and David Shannon• Tough Boris by Mem Fox and Kathryn Brown
• Pirate Stew by Neil Gaiman and Chris Riddell
