El pirata de la pata de pato

by José Carlos Andrés, Myriam Cameros Sierra (Illustrator)

Overview

All the boat’s crew are afraid of Desalmau, the fearsome pirate. When they hear the knock, knock, knock of his wooden leg they run to hide. But, what would happen if one day someone changed the wooden leg for a rubber duck? Hilarious consequences await the once terrified crew in this beautifully illustrated book!

Desalmau era el capitán pirata más temible de todos los mares del Norte, del Sur, del Este y del Oeste. Daba tanto miedo que no se afeitaba para no tener que mirarse en el espejo, porque se daría miedo a sí mismo.
¿Conseguirá su tripulación dejar de tenerle tanto miedo? ¿Tendrá que ver con el toc, toc, toc de su pata de palo al pasear por la cubierta del barco?

Editorial Reviews

The illustrations were creative, absorbing, and highly stylized, if slightly creepy. They have an appealing messy and layered look that conveys the actual chaos one would expect on a pirate ship run by children. – Youth Services Book Review



This fun title screams story time—with its wild and luminous illustrations and its expressive Spanish text. Bold and large font makes for great opportunities to add emotion and emphasis for full effect during read alouds. A humorous, unique story with an unexpected ending that will invite repeated readings. – School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 2—Desalmau is known to be the most fearsome pirate in all the seas, and he strikes fear within his crew every time he takes a walk out on the deck. When the smallest member of the crew finally grows tired of being afraid, she sneaks into Desalmau's quarters and replaces his wooden leg with…a rubber duck! Desalmau takes a walk out on the deck, and slips and falls. He roars, demanding to know who replaced his leg. Other members of the crew decide to replace Desalmau's leg with creative items, until finally the little pirate who started it all replaces the leg with a pencil. Now, when the fearsome Desalmau takes walks on the deck, something magical happens that leaves the crew excited for Desalmau's walk. This fun title screams story time—with its wild and luminous illustrations and its expressive Spanish text. Bold and large font makes for great opportunities to add emotion and emphasis for full effect during read alouds. A humorous, unique story with an unexpected ending that will invite repeated readings. VERDICT A hilarious addition to Spanish-language picture book collections for children, and an excellent choice for reading aloud.—Selenia Paz
