Maggie and the Pirate is a 1979 children's picture book by American author and illustrator Ezra Jack Keats.

Reception

Kirkus Reviews found "Keats' scruffy urchins with their black dot eyes are jaunty, though a shade too cute, and his marbleized skies at dusk are a shade too turbulent and charged for the relatively anemic story." but "...it is cheering to see the sun come out in these blurry, rainbow-colored pages."[1] Publishers Weekly thought "The Caldecott Medalist's typically vital art graces this tender tale of a girl who finds a new friend while searching for her kidnapped cricket."[2]
