Cheerful, thoughtful Small Saul loves the sea--but he's too short for the Navy. He devotes his talents to the pirates, who throw this pint-sized hero overboard before sheepishly rescuing him. The case for individuality is clear without being pedantic, while ink and watercolor illustrations highlight the comical juxtaposition of clean Saul and the less-tidy buccaneers.
