Imagine You're a Fairy!
Meg Clibbon. Annick Press, $8.95 (32pp) ISBN 978-1-55037-742-2
Maties who dream of sentencing others to walk the plank will welcome Imagine You're a Pirate! by ""Peg Leg"" Meg Clibbon, illus. by Lucy ""Blackheart"" Clibbon. Tongue-in-cheek text outlines the basics, such as how pirates dress (""earrings"" and ""spotty hanky"" are de rigueur) and what they eat (""lots of biscuits, which get very maggoty"") and say (""Shiver me timbers!""). An introduction to famous pirates, fictional and otherwise, rounds out the volume. Funky folkloric illustrations that incorporate sequins, beads and glitter (as in gold, ahoy!) add to the humor. Also available from the same team (aka ""Magic"" Meg and Lucy ""Loveheart""): Imagine You're a Fairy!
