The Treasure of Pirate Frank

PreS-Gr 1—In this cumulative tale, a young pirate and his dog follow a map to find the treasure of Pirate Frank. Beyond the sea, to an island, over the mountains, through the forest, above the swamp, to the top of the steps, and past the volcano, are all pathways along the journey "on the map that shows the way to the treasure of Pirate Frank." Once at X marks the spot, the young pirate is met with a surprise—he sees the treasure chest with someone who isn't on the map—a young Captain Sally Frank. It's a "Quick! Run!" down, through, over, and off the way he came, with Sally quick at his heels. Tuya's digitally rendered illustrations are reeling with colorful activity and contain cheerful, vibrant details to explore. The eye-catching, cinematic spreads capture the story's action and invite young readers to follow the pirate to the treasure. The text pairs calmly and then playfully with the artwork in a composed, straightforward tone.
