Two stories in one.  Timmy, wants to grow up and explore the world, he also loves being a pirate.  One night his mother tells him a story about the "greatest" pirate ever.The Pirate is exploring the world when he is caught in a storm and stranded on an island.  One night he wishes upon a star, the star tells him she will grant him a wish if he does something for her.I found the story to be fun, engaging and also a lesson tale in helping others.  The illustrations I found bright, colorful, cheerful and engaging.  The illustrations were done by Eftimie Delia, I found a depth or perhaps a better would be layers in her illustrations that I have not seen in some of Michael Yu's other stories.  The expressions on Timmy's face as he listens to his mother are very expressive. The shading and shadowing is also very well done.  The art truly enhances this story.While I had a few issues with the story itself i.e how did the Pirate sale an ocean ship all by himself, the adventure of the story came through loud and clear.The ratio of illustrations to story seems a bit low for a beginning reader, but not too low if the story is being read to the child.I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS STORY.Formatting IssuesI viewed this on:17"screen using the Cloud Reader:  I had to play with the settings as I could not get illustrations and the proper word segments to appear on one page for the entire book, even on the smallest setting for font and largest margins.  As the illustrations are very well done, it might be worth  putting the margins on second largest to get the better picture size and on the smallest font that is comfortable to read, so as to get the most possible words on the page.iPad.  I found the experience of reading this story to be much better on the iPad2.  After playing with the formats as with the Cloud Reader.  I found I liked putting the story on 2 column, the margins on the smallest size, and the font on the 2nd smallest size.  This allowed me to read the entire portion per illustration.  Then I would expand the illustration to full screen size.  It gave me the best of both having large illustrations, and then when reading, I could have an entire segment on one page, with the illustration.
