Edward and the Pirates by David McPhail has always been one of my favorite stories. This is the story of a little boy who discovers the joy of reading. He reads everything he can get his hands on. One day he discovers a book about pirates which comes to life around him. I loved this book because it fosters a child's imagination. The pirates who "invade" his room are searching for treasure, they think that Edward's book will tell them where it is. After a huge ruckus Edward gives them the book only to realize they can't read. I love that part---I love when children like to become teachers. The illustrations are wonderful....so rich and colorful. David McPhail is not only a great writer but an incredible illustrator. This is great book for story time and perfect to read on International Talk Like a Pirate Day! It also makes a great gift for a child who has a great imagination.
