DADS READ: "The Treasure of Pirate Frank" by Mal Peet, Elspeth Graham and Jez Tuya
The Treasure of Pirate Frank by Mal Peet, Elspeth Graham and illustrated by Jez Tuya
A: ☠️🗺A fun treasure hunt sparking a sense of adventure and discovery with many steps to go through and remember! And a big surprise at the destination! Sometimes our adventures (or just daily tasks) don’t end the way we think they will, but that doesn’t mean they are’t worth doing!! The story builds each page upon the last (like the little old lady who swallowed a fly) and then back down after they reach the ‘❌’ that marks the spot!
Primary Theme: Adventure may not end where you think
Secondary Themes: Strong female character, multiple steps to a process, overcoming obstacles
Summary: From the Nosy Crow website: “A boy and his dog set sail in search of treasure, braving stormy seas... mountains snowy and cold... the swamp where the bullfrogs sing... and other challenging obstacles, before finally reaching the end of their quest. But wait! Pirate Frank is A GIRL! And she doesn’t want to share. Back home they go, retracing their steps before sailing away to dream of the treasury they’ve lost.”
Subject or Voice Specific: The boy searching for treasure and Pirate Frank is a girl
