What started as a surprised yawp in response to a sports injury has since exploded into a global phenomenon with participants on every continent and the seven seas in between. Few have captured, or been possessed by, our cultural fascination with scurvy sea dogs as Pat Croce, who operates the Pirate Soul Museum in Key West, Florida.
My Pop-Pop is a Pirate will enchant junior picaroons with its fanciful storyline, lift-up flaps, pull tabs, 3-D touch-and-feel elements, and pop-up surprise ending.
Julia Wolf’s immersive illustrations provide the perfect counterpoint to Croce’s piratical prose: (click to enlarge):
