Illustrated by
Lynne Avril.
Plainspoken text and sunny mixed-media illustrations present the confusing world of a child with double vision. Ginny's doctor outfits her with an eye patch ("for a while"): "So Ginny became a Kindergarten Pirate who could...read and read and read." Easygoing pictures in cheerful colors simultaneously depict a warm, inviting classroom and the chaos seen through Ginny's eyes.
