A Pirate's Guide to Recess

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Greg Ruth. "Captain" Red and his friend Molly engage in an epic playground battle amidst hordes of imagined pirates on the open sea. The pirate-speak-heavy text reinforces the immersive feeling of the pair's game. Ruth's art provides sweeping perspectives and uses color versus shades of gray and brown to distinguish real figures from imaginary. A glossary of pirate vocabulary follows the story.
