Pirate & Penguin

What happens when a pirate, hoping for a parrot, stumbles upon a bird of a duller plumage?

Pirate doesn't know that Penguin is a penguin. But any bird can sit on a shoulder and squawk "shiver me timbers"...right?

Laugh along with Pirate and Penguin in this high seas tale of mistaken identity and find out whether they'll find friendship before somebody walks the plank.

Mike Allegra sailed into uncharted writing waters to create an all-dialogue story with an unexpected pirate character: a little dotty, well-meaning, and unusually patient (anyone would snap if a penguin trashed their ship and spit out their cracker). He's written a number of other books for children, including Sleepy Happy Capy Cuddles (Page Street Kids) and Scampers Thinks Like a Scientist (Sourcebooks). He also works as an editor and a creative writing teacher. Visit his website at www.mikeallegra.com and say, "Ahoy!"

Jenn Harney had a blast creating the art for this story, because who doesn't love pirates and penguins? Together at last! She's illustrated many other children's books, including Hornswoggled! (Page Street Kids), and even authored a couple as well. She lives in Ohio with her family and their corgi named Steve.
