SUMMARY: Two boys wonder if pirates wear black and white pajamas with skull and crossbones. No, this story says. Pirates wear a variety of creative styles and colors to bed. They also have some zany bedtime routines! ILLUSTRATIONS: The illustrations are large, colorful, fun, and full of hilarious details. You have to read through this book multiple times to catch all the visual fun. REVIEW: I am an extreme lover of pirate picture books so of course I had to read this one. And FINALLY, I was met with a picture book that rhymes so smoothly, I wanted to read it over and over! This book was full of laugh out loud humor as the pirates prepare for bed. From their shark fin hairstyles in the bath to the captain's too small pajamas (causing a belly button to peak out) and the wardrobe malfunction of one pirate who laughed too loud, this book is fun from start to finish. The zany and unique pajamas each pirate wears is wonderful! This book definitely shows the softer side of pirates which makes it perfect for the youngest crowd. But the hilarious and silly fun makes it perfect for the older crowd and independent readers. AGE RECOMMENDATION: Ages 4-8 (possibly age 3 depending on maturity of the child and a deep love of pirates:-))
