Shiver Me Timbers!: Pirate Poems & Paintings

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Robert Neubecker. Using stereotypical pirate-speak, each poem explores a familiar aspect of pirate lore and takes it to a new level of rhythm and rhyme. Final lines are calculated to evoke a chuckle, sometimes veering into the deliciously disgusting. Neubecker's digitally colored India-ink illustrations play well with Florian's verse, which is balanced between light gore and outright silliness.
