The Pirate's Eye

The Pirate's Eye illustrations are clear, colorful and beautiful, and the story is meaningful and subtle. Please let A. Clayton from Oklahoma know that Robert Priest has two other books, The Old Pirate of Central Park (Houghton Mifflin) and The Town That Got Out of Town (Godine).

A Simple Lovely Book

My three-year old daughter loves this book. It is so beautifully written...almost poetic. She loves to hear it and examine the beautiful drawings. We are looking for other titles by this author because of The Pirate's Eye and its simple beauty.
