Pirasaurs!

By Josh Funk and Michael Slack

“What could be better than a tale of treasure and pirates at sea? Dinosaurs swabbing the decks . . . A rip-roaring read-aloud for storytime.” —School Library Journal

We’re Pirasaurs! We’re Pirasaurs!

We rule the open seas!

We’ll cannon-blast you to the past!

We do just what we please!

Meet the Pirasaurs, a ragtag team of seasoned pirate dinosaurs looking for adventure and treasure! There’s fearsome Captain Rex, golden-toothed Velocimate, one-eyed Bronto Beard, and more fearsome, buccaneering beasts . . . as well as one new recruit who may be small, but who’s eager to prove he can learn the ropes and find his place on the team.

But when a trap is set upon the Pirasaurs while looking for buried treasure, it’s up to the littlest recruit to show the team that there’s more to a Pirasaur than meets the eye patch!

“Funk (Lady Pancake & Sir French Toast) handles this mashup with just the right combination of swagger and heart; his succinct, bouncy text should inspire rollicking read-alouds.” —Publishers Weekly

“A small dinosaur earns the respect of a scaly crew of dino-pirates with a clever bit of conflict resolution . . . Prehistoric pirates are always worth a play, as is the peaceable theme.” —Kirkus Reviews
