PIRATE & PENGUIN
What happens when a pirate, hoping for a parrot, stumbles upon a bird of a duller plumage?
Pirate doesn’t know that Penguin is a penguin. But any bird can sit on a shoulder and squawk “shiver me timbers”…right?
Laugh along with Pirate and Penguin in this high seas tale of mistaken identity and find out whether they’ll find friendship before somebody walks the plank.
32 pages, Hardcover. Expected publication May 30, 2023 by Page Street Kids
Kirkus says, “When a very dim pirate mistakes a penguin for a parrot, confusion ensues…Dialogue balloons are black with white type; splashes of parrot-paint color enliven the neutral ship setting. Varied compositions often feature small insets on large spreads; this one will be a great read-aloud to an audience close enough to see the images. The solitary pirate is a cartoon figure, drawn with every stereotypical accoutrement except an eye patch: peg leg, hook hand, gray beard, and 18th-century attire. An amusing romp that will have landlubbers and scurvy sea dogs alike giggling.” You can read the rest here: https://tinyurl.com/v2vja66r
