Apricot ABC by Miska Miles
A gorgeous and beautifully worded alphabet book to be read again and again.

Sing Sailor Sing by Patricia Miles Martin
This book has lovely sketch like illustrations in a restricted color palette of purple, teal and black. The story, however, skiims over the idea of Colonialism and is written only within the narrow scope of a young boy allowed to travel by ship under the Portuguese flag to colonize an island, then return home with news for the Prince who sponsored the expedition. Pretty boring.
