The Pirate's Eye

32 pp. | Houghton | May, 2005 | Trade ISBN 0-618-43990-0 $16.00
(4) K-3 Sandpiper finds a glass eye, which, like a crystal ball, reveals the pirating life of Captain Black, the eye's owner. Sandpiper writes a book based on Captain Black's adventures that helps to reunite Captain Black with his eye. This is an odd story that stays afloat thanks to the clean airbrushed enamel on clayboard illustrations, which convey the characters' depth and warmth.
