Pirate Nap: A Book of Colors by Danna Smith- OPTIONAL

Smith, Danna.  Petrone, Valeria.  Pirate Nap:  A Book of Colors, 40 pgs.  Clarion Books, 2011.  $14.99.  Inside cover: “Afternoon on Spyglass Street.  Pirates fighting in bare feet.  Time for a nap, rowdy crew.  Mighty pirates need sleep, too. From a white bandanna to yellow coins to a red blanket, two boys use their imaginations to turn everyday objects into colorful pirate treasures as they prepare for naptime.  Even the youngest readers and listeners will want to chime in as they get ready to sail off to sleep.”  The illustrations and rhyming in this story are wonderful.  This book could be used in a unit about colors but it is mostly a bedtime story.  Pre-K.  OPTIONAL.  Reviewer: SL.
