I read this book to my children over the span of a couple months. This was a more difficult book to read to them because of all the seafaring descriptions and old language style. The kids were able to track with the story overall, but it was a little more difficult. The story-line being what it is helped mitigate these challenges. I know they enjoyed it some because I have since heard the kids sing with the tune I assigned,
Fifteen men on the dead man's chest--
Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of fum!
I am nuts about books. I read on all kinds of topics. I attempt to review each book I read for the sake of my own enrichment as well as conversation starters with others.
You never know what you will find in an attic! Usually there is a hodgepodge of things buried under dust.
Most of what is included here are notes to myself. The majority of folks will not find interest in these posts.
