Happy Book Birthday: PIRATERIA

"Avast! This combination of nonsense verse and everything pirate is a guaranteed winner."--Kirkus Reviews

PIRATERIA: We put the "ARG" in Bargain!

From the madcap mind of the inimitable NYT bestselling poet & artist Calef Brown comes this zany picture book tour through that Wonderful, Pluderful Pirate Emporium PIRATERIA. Young scallywags, swashbucklers and swashbucklerettes will love it.

From the publisher: When pirates need superior wares for life at sea, they head on down to Pirateria, where they can find treasure chests (the very best), peg legs, planks, eye patches, head rags, vests, pantaloons—and even satchels and pouches for gems and doubloons—all at prices that can’t be beat. Creativity runs amok in this energetic, rhyming text full of beards and barnacles and plenty of pirate fun. Arrrr ya looking for a good price on big-buckle shoes—and a rollicking read-aloud about practical pirates? Look no further!
