Description

Reading the whole lot he can after learning how one can read, young Edward finds his imagination soaring and particularly enjoys adventure stories, and someday he wakes as much as find himself surrounded by pirates.
David McPhail–award-winning creator and illustrator of more than 40 books, including Santa’s Book of Names–has created any other delightful book about Edward, a voracious reader of anything he can get his hands on, even seed catalogs in a pinch. One night, at the same time as reading a book about pirates, Edward finds himself surrounded by the salty sailors who think his book might tell them where their treasure is buried. They beg, threaten, and bribe him to no avail, but if Edward’s father scares the pirates with a shower of arrows, Edward feels sorry for them and relinquishes the book. As it turns out, the pirates cannot read, so Edward reads the book aloud to them. Kids will love the big, dramatic paintings (moody acrylics on canvas) and the rollicking story of how, with slightly imagination, a book can come to life. (Ages 4 to 8)
