Stern Pirate Trapped in a Jungle Skeleton's Grip

A stern man with a goatee and a furrowed brow fills the right side of the page, wearing a buttoned vest and a knotted cloth at his neck. He is caught in the grip of a huge skeleton. Bony arms, ribs, and a skull with a bandana wrap around him, and a smaller skull sits near his chest. Behind him, two ragged men in torn clothes hold up sticks or spears. One has wild spiky hair and a headband, and the other looks on with a scowl. Leafy bushes and a grassy hill sit in the background. The bones have lots of knots and ties, so they're good for practicing careful, small coloring. Try soft bone whites and grays for the skeleton, then earthy browns and greens for the clothes and plants, so the frightened faces stand out. It also works well as a prompt for kids to tell what happens next.
