When You're a Pirate Dog and Other Pirate Poems

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jim Harris. Swashbucklers, scallywags, and even a few sea serpents fill the pages of this collection of appealing doggerel. Perfect for dramatic readings, the poems are full of rollicking rhyme and alliteration. A comic cast of patch-eyed, bulbous-nosed pirates swagger and bumble their way through illustrations exaggerated to great humorous effect. Readers will be happy to set sail with these silly seafarers.
