An old ship. A sad friend. A button . . . An idea. Let's SWAP!
In a young scalawag's first tale of bartering, a peg-legged youngster
sets out to help his captain repair his vessel. One button for three
teacups. SWAP! Two teacups for four coils of rope. SWAP! And so it goes,
until the little swashbuckler secures sails, anchors, a ship's wheel,
and more . . . including a happy friend. Steve Light's intricate
pen-and-ink illustrations, punctuated by brilliant blue and other hues,
anchor this clever tale of friendship and ingenuity.
