Book of the Week: Archie & The Pirates
Marc Rosenthal — who I became a fan of when I discovered Phooey! — sent my kids his latest book, Archie and the Pirates, a few weeks ago.
It is adorable. Resourceful Archie finds himself stranded on an island but doesn't despair. He cleverly uses what he finds to make a trim little house, all the while making friends with the locals — even an intimidating tiger. All is well. Until the Pirates arrive...
Along with the book, Marc sent an Island-Survival-Kit — a small bag filled with bandaids, a snack and Archie's favorite recipes. I'm such a fan of smart, creative marketing solutions. I thought the Survival Guide was brilliant.

I LOVE a monkey/pirate book. I'll have to look this one up for sure. Perfect for my own little monkeys.
Love this! The marketing campaign is brilliant for I'm going to go and buy this now for my three year old nephew.
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for posting this! I am really hoping people get to see this book. Everywhere I've done readings even I've been surprised at the rapt attention the kids pay to the story.
That looks like such an entertaining, fun, and smart read! My own little monkeys would love it! Thanks for sharing! For sure great marketing too! What a smart banana! :)
