Yo Ho, maties! If you have a pirate in your midst, bring this swaggering tale home at once. It's the first day of school and the young swashbuklin' boy is off to school, but not without his imaginary mates--who are drawn in sepia lines that appear behind the full color illustrations of the boy's "real world." It's a lively fantasy to please the imagination and great good fun for grown-ups to read aloud. 4 & up
