Pirate Jack Gets Dressed

Day, Nancy Raines. Pirate Jack Gets Dressed. Illustrated by Allison Black. New York: Beach Lane Books, 2018.

Pirate Jack gets up in the morning and gets dressed one clothing item at a time. Each item of clothing is a different color. Pirate Jack Gets Dressed is a cute picture book to reinforce color names. Nancy Day has written the text in rhyming format which makes the book more appealing to young children. Allison Black used Adobe Photoshop to create her brightly colored illustrations. There are more details included in the illustrations than in the text which also contributes to the appropriateness of the book for younger children.

If I had had this title when we were working on our Mock Caldecott unit, I probably would have included this in the list of titles for the students to choose from. It meets many of the Caldecott criteria (maybe all of them).

I want to thank Curiosity City and Beach Lane Books for the copy of Pirate Jack Gets Dressed. I won the book in one of their giveaways.
