The Admiral and the Deck Boy: One Boy's Journey with Christopher Columbus by Genevieve O'Connor

From School Library Journal: "This is the story of Carlos, a 12-year-old apprentice to the ship's carpenter on the vessels being outfitted for Columbus's voyage, who signs on as a deck boy. He comes to thrive on the rigors of sea life and is unswerving in his admiration of Columbus. Superstitious sailors' fears, murmurings of mutiny, and disappointment at the failure to find the promised gold are all vividly conveyed. O'Connor depicts Columbus as a thoughtful man, a shrewd admiral, and a leader of men."

How the Whale Became and Other Stories by Ted Hughes (illustrated by George Adamson)

From Booklist: "First published in 1964, Hughes' creation fables await discovery by a new generation in this beautiful edition. From his lyrical introduction, describing the brand new world ("the flowers jumped up and stared around, astonished. Then . . . creatures began to appear"), Hughes moves on to tell his classic stories about how individual creatures came to be: the whale that began as a garden plant; the power-hungry owl ostracized by its peers; the handsome, clever cat, lazy but talented; and so on."

This is a paperback in a clear plastic book cover. There is a school name stamped inside, but overall it is in good to very good condition. Asking $6.00ppd (within the US only). NOW $5.00ppd.

These come from a non-smoking and no pet home. I would prefer to be paid by a money order (in which case I will ship immediately) but will also accept a personal check (in which case I will ship once your check clears). Sorry, but I do not take Paypal. If you would like insurance, add an additional $1.75.

Feel free to email with questions. If you are serious about purchasing, please give your name and address in confirmation. Email me at kareni29@ yahoo.com (take out the space).

Thanks for looking.
