Michael Yu's "The Littlest Pirate" is a great read. Like most children's books, it presents a great lesson in a fun way. The story centers on Pirate Pete, the smallest and youngest pirate on a pirate ship. Always being told of his lack of size and his inability to do things because of that, Pete proves his captain and everyone else wrong when he does things that none of the other pirates can. The lesson to be learned, of course, is that no one should let limitations decide what is possible. This is something which everyone -- especially children -- should learn.The story is told in a very kid-friendly way. Even as an adult, I had a lot of fun reading the story. The characters are described very well, and the pictures that accompany the story really show the emotions and the situations described. I loved reading such stories as a child, and Michael Yu just revived my love of these kinds of stories.I would recommend this story for parents who want to encourage their young children to read. "The Littlest Pirate" can help children fall in love with reading.
