Captain Beastlie's Pirate Party

24 pp. | Candlewick/Nosy Crow | October, 2014 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7636-7399-4 $15.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Chris Mould. Captain Beastlie has a hygiene problem: e.g., "'Only four days left till m'birthday!' he bellowed, rootling a glob of peanut butter out of his ear." For his present, his crew surprises him with a bath and new pirate duds. The book ends a bit too, well, cleanly, but the journey is droll, semi-gross fun, with craggy art that plays along.
