Marc Rosenthal, Lenox based illustrator and childrens book author publishes new work: “Archie and the Pirates“.
Kirkus Reviews calls Archie and the Pirates, “An utterly splendid bit of storytelling that acts like a cross between My Father’s Dragon and Curious George, with a little Babar thrown in for good measure. Rosenthal’s remarkable style has all the pizzazz of modern storytelling with the look and feel of old-time picture-book classics. Brightly hued watercolors repeat shades of orange, black and green, giving the book a lively feel. Bound to be a family favorite oft repeated, this is one swell book.”
