This is a great story of a retired pirate and queen battling it out on the ponds of Central Park with mechanical sailboats. What they learn about friendship is far more important than who won the battle. Delightful illustrations that entertain the imagination! This is an awesome book and my favorite bday gift for the under-5 crowd. Since it is out of print, you do take a risk buying a used one.
