The Old Pirate of Central Park

32 pp. | Houghton | March, 1999 | Trade ISBN 0-395-90505-2 $$15.00
(3) K-3 A retired pirate sails a model ship in Central Park, only to be bombarded by a retired queen's reckless ship, complete with mini cannonballs. Eventually, the two call a truce and realize they have much in common. Young readers will be intrigued by the miniature battle on the pond. Priest's striking artwork aptly emphasizes the action within each spread.
