Twenty-Six Pirates: An Alphabet Book

32 pp. | Penguin/Paulsen | June, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-0-399-25777-3 $16.99
(4) PS Quick rhyming sentences introduce spunky little pirate boys with alphabetically ordered names, from "Pirate Arty. First to the party" to "Pirate Zach. The final attack." Illustrations use cut construction paper and charcoal and colored-pencil drawn lines to create a sense of these pirates' exuberance. A punchy way to learn the alphabet, but some examples feel forced ("Pirate Samson. Awfully handsome.").
