Review "Forward writes smoothly, combining natural-sounding dialogue with evocative sensory details of life aboard a wooden sailing ship.... A good change of pace from the usual picture-book fare." --Booklist Online-- (4/30/2014 12:00:00 AM)"Gorgeous illustrations combine with the poetic language of the narrative to create a winsome journey." --Kirkus Reviews-- (2/15/2014 12:00:00 AM) Review Quote "On the harbor wall, two cats converse. Actually, Old Tregarn does most of the talking, regaling young Jim with his tales of adventure on sailing ships. Nervous but excited, Jim asks Old Tregarn to take him aboard. That night, they sneak onto a ship and explore only to find that it has left port. Initially seasick, Jim finds the storms terrifying. When they finally return home, Old Tregarn stays aboard for his last voyage, while his friend disembarks and becomes Old Jim, telling tales to the younger quayside cats. Children who are intrigued by sailing vessels will enjoy this historical tale, with its cats-eye view of the subject and at least a mention of pirates. Forward writes smoothly, combining natural-sounding dialogue with evocative sensory details of life aboard a wooden sailing ship. Brown, whose picture books include Gracie the Lighthouse Cat (2011), contributes a series of paintings that bring the storys characters and settings to life on the page. A good change of pace from the usual picture-book fare."
