ABOUT THE BOOK

Pirate Jack Gets Dressed
By Nancy Raines Day
Illustrated by Allison Black
Published by Beach Lane Books
ISBN-13: 9781481476645

It’s the crack o’ dawn, and dapper Pirate Jack is ready t’ get dressed for a day out on the high seas with his motley crew. He’ll need every color of the rainbow to make his outfit complete—from his itchy gray long johns and his toasty pink socks to his bright red sash and his cozy purple coat. And he won’t be forgettin’ his black eye patch and trusty brown peg leg, either!

But just as he’s about to step outside, he realizes he’s still missing one color: green! Thank goodness a certain feathered friend is ready to jump from her swing and onto his shoulder to complete his colorful look. Squawk!

“The rhyming text is spunky and humorous, filled with familiar pirate lingo…illustrations use bright, saturated colors and an oversized landscape format with double-page spreads that provide lots of room for amusing details in Jack’s well-furnished stateroom aboard ship. A tiny mouse character with a teeny-tiny eye patch is hidden somewhere within each spread. Yer pirate-lovin’ tender-aged readers will give Pirate Jack a thumbs-up….”
