Beginning with one coat button, a pirate and his young sidekick barter varying quantities of goods to spruce up an old ship. Intriguing and extremely detailed pen-and-ink drawings, with cleverly selective coloring, depict the duo garnering ample gear to outfit their vessel with new sails, a flag, an anchor, etc. This is a book that begs for close observation.
