About Archie and the Pirates
Acclaimed author and illustrator Marc Rosenthal returns with the delightful Archie and the Pirates, a charming tale filled with rich images and memorable characters. Archie wakes up one morning to find himself stranded on a beach. After whipping up a coconut breakfast, he builds a house and soon makes new friends—Clarice the ibis and Beatrice the tiger. Together they plan a party, complete with fish and coconut soup—Archie's specialty. The evening ends peacefully, with Archie playing the flute and Clarice serenading the group of friends. The next day their idyll is shattered when a band of pirates captures Beatrice! Archie and Clarice band together and create a crafty plan that has the pirates running for cover and readers rolling with laughter. Overflowing with a sense of infectious adventure, Archie and the Pirates is ideal for independent or shared reading, and is sure to become a family favorite.
