Heave ho, me hearties! This spirited collection will inspire all young pirates to set sail to faraway islands and seek adventures on the high seas.

Critic reviews

"Walker has extensively researched the genre in order to make this uncommon selection." ( School Library Journal)

Well executed

A collective collection from different geo-locations with each their own life’s lesson to share 🙏🏽🏴‍☠️

my 5 year old son loves it

we listen to pirate stories while driving. the reading is a little dry but ok.

Great short stories, excellent reader

A great collection of pirate stories from all over the world. The reader is fabulous, he does lots of good voices. I also love the way the music and sound effects add to the narrative.

top notch

pleasant narrator voice. my 4 boys listened to these at night to settle down their busy bodies. they have fond memories of all the barefoot book stories.
