pirate's lullaby: mutiny at bedtime
Created by literacy specialist, Randi Shonenshine. With artwork by Tim Bowers.
Yo, ho, ho! It's bedtime! But this little swashbuckler will do anything to avoid going to sleep. Read along as he stalls for time - searching for peg-legged Captain Teddy, stowing his toys in the ship's treasure chest, and even playing a game of walk-the-plank! Snuggle up with your own little pirate for a fun and delightful high-seas adventure as you wind down your exciting day together.
