When Captain Eye-Patch Jim and his crew kidnap Santa, a young cabin boy must stop the pirates before they ruin Christmas.

Young mateys will find plenty of holiday joy in this humorous, colorful, and thoroughly piratical version of the beloved Clement C. Moore classic. On this ship of mischievous brigands—who have visions of treasure chests, not sugarplums, dancing in their heads—you wouldn’t expect a visit from nice St. Nick. Instead, here comes Sir Peggedy, with his peg leg and hook arm, cracking his whip and driving eight giant seahorses: Salty, Scurvy, Sinbad, Mollie, Cutthroat, Cross-Eyes, Roger, and Jolly. Philip Yates’ rollicking rhymes and Sebastià Serra’s sprightly, fun-filled pictures—featuring whimsically multicolored seahorses, stockings hung on the ship’s bowsprit with tar, child-friendly pirates, and a complete treasure map—turn this Christmas perennial into a jubilant celebration!

The Christmas Pirate is about a young boy named Chris Masterson who dreams about being the captain of his own ship like his father before him. Though Chris has no intention of being a Pirate, through very interesting twists in the story, he becomes know as %u201CThe Christmas Pirate%u201D. The Book: 80 pages 8.5" x 5.5" Color cover - perfect bound Inside pages are easy to read, filled with Black and White images of the Caribbean enhancing the imagination of readers young and old.

On the first day of Christmas, a gift was sent to me, a parrot in a palm tree! Ahoy mateys, Christmas is coming and even pirates celebrate the holiday! This follow-up to the hugely popular A Pirate's Night Before Christmas offers a witty re-imagining of The Twelve Days of Christmas with a sly buccaneer twist. A brave cabin boy receives marvelously mysterious gifts for each of the 12 days he is left alone to guard the pirate ship: 12 cannons blastin', 9 mermaids singin', 6 Jolly Rogers, and so on, but who are they from? With impeccable rhythm and a lively sense of fun, Philip Yates and Sebastià Serra create a delightful world all their own.

Two brothers use their imaginations to turn their surroundings--from a white bandana and yellow coins to a red blanket and even their baby sister--into a colorful pirate adventure before naptime. Full color.

Illustrations and rhyming text tell of Cap'n McNasty, who leads his pirate crew in stealing--and playing with--Christmas toys until Santa himself arrives to teach them a lesson.
