Victricia Malicia: Book-Loving Buccaneer

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Mark Meyers. Victricia falls short in the pirate life to which she was born, gravitating toward dry land and books. The rhyming text is lengthy but makes each punch line feel earned. Plentiful daylight in the humorous illustrations tells readers these aren't sinister pirates. Close observers may enjoy some cleverly titled books in Victricia's collection, including Don't Let the Pigeon Steer the Ship.
