Ahoy, Pirate Pete [With Press-Out Pieces]

Nick Sharratt. Candlewick Press (MA), $8.99 (14pp) ISBN 978-0-7636-2197-1

Children can let their imaginations run wild with the cutout pieces that fit into each spread in Ahoy, Pirate Pete by Nick Sharratt, a companion to Once Upon a Time. The glossy, durable pages accommodate 30 punch-out shapes-a helicopter, a lobster and more-which children use to ""fill in the blanks"" of a tale starring the titular hero and One-eyed Wanda.
