We're Going on a Treasure Hunt

Description

In this unabridged board book edition of the jacketed hardcover picture book, a crew of adorable animal pirates is on a high-seas quest for treasure. These salty dogs-and giraffes, and elephants, and others-are off to fetch some gold, and no whale, skeleton, or thunderstorm can stand in their way. But our brave buccaneers best beware, because there may be even more trouble ahead! With Kelly DiPucchio's fun, rhyming text and Jay Fleck's bright illustrations, this is an imaginative twist on the storytime classic We're Going on a Bear Hunt, and a rollicking read-aloud perfect for little adventurers.

Kelly DiPucchio is the author of many popular children's books, including Dragon Was Terrible, illustrated by Greg Pizzoli, and Everyone Loves Bacon; and Everyone Loves Cupcake, both illustrated by Eric Wight. She lives with her best mates and three salty dogs in southeastern Michigan. You can find her online at kellydipucchio.com. Jay Fleck is the illustrator of numerous books for children, including Everything You by Elizabeth McPike and Flo by Kyo Maclear. He lives in Shorewood, Illinois, with his family.

"Fleck takes great pains to render the scary moments soft and cuddly and even pops in delightful details, such as how exactly a pirate sloth would get about (answer: slowly). . .Arr-propriate for multiple rereadings and more fun than a bottle of rum!" --Kirkus Reviews
