Pirates

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Stacey Schuett. On a dark and stormy night, young Max wants to read a story about cats, but Ellery insists on reading a ruthless pirate tale aloud, playing up the scary parts to maximize Max's fear. The pirate story features appropriately spooky elements but is drawn out too long, and Max's revenge on Ellery is predictable. The dark illustrations add atmosphere.
