Pirate Jack Gets Dressed

Written by Nancy Raines Day, illustrated by Allison Black

It’s a colors book! It’s a colors book! I love it! I love it! Pirate Jack puts on layer after layer of colorful pieces to create a very fashionable look. A pirate’s got to look his best you know. This is written with a playful rhythm that can be read out loud over and over. I would do it in a pirate-y voice to make it SUPER fun. There are such cute characters in these beautifully graphic illustrations. Pirate Jack’s teddy bear, an octopus, a turtle, and a whale to name a few. You can even follow a one-eyed mouse (or friendly rat) through the whole book.
