The Hairy Mole books are ideal for young, independent readers, beginning to
explore the world through books. This is the first in a trilogy of Hairy Mole
books, featuring the loveable pirate and his crew. Intricate line drawings and
inventive use of font and typesetting really grab the readers attention.
Humour and piracy are a particularly potent combination for boys, especially
with the recent abundance of pirate subject matter in films and make this
series ideal for young independent readers.
