There be pirate fun in the park, me hearties!
5:13pm Saturday 11th October 2008
Pirate mania hit Lister Park, Manningham, as parents and children celebrated National Bookstart Day.
The pirate party was the culmination of a week of activities at Bradford libraries.
Children from three nurseries joined a treasure hunt, made telescopes and decorated paper boats which were floated in the fountains.
Bookstart is a national scheme which aims to help children enjoy reading with their parents.
