Pirate Nap: A Book of Colors

40 pp. | Clarion | September, 2011 | Trade ISBN 978-0-547-57531-5 $14.99
(3) PS Illustrated by Valeria Petrone. Two young brothers play pirates, cheerfully avoiding naps by looting, fighting a purple monster (a.k.a. baby sister), and seeking treasure. Vibrant digital gouache illustrations and a smooth-sailing rhyming text feature nine basic colors as the boys chase and plunder. As a concept book, colors play a distant second fiddle to imaginative play, but the energetic story has appeal.
