Coats, Lucy, Captain Beastlie’s Pirate Party. PICTURE BOOK. Candlewick Press. 2014. $15.99.
Captain Beastlie is disgusting. His hygiene is deplorable.
Despite his downright gag-worthy habits, his crew is squeaky clean and his ship
is in tip top shape. He roams the ship day after day announcing the imminent
arrival of his birthday. The night before the captain’s big day, his crew
sneaks about making preparations. His birthday arrives and his crew present him
with his present: a bath, a haircut, and a brand new hat and suit. He is clean
at last…that is until his first bite of birthday cake.
This is a fun story that
is sure to produce giggles from readers of all ages. It is full of pirate lingo
that will delight and amaze and hopefully also inspire sticky fingers to get a
good scrubbing.
