A Pirate's Night Before Christmas

by Philip Yates

A Pirate's Night Before Christmas Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

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!

Synopsis:

This creative retelling of Clement Moore's classic Christmas poem is presented from the point of view of a young boy on a pirate ship and details the arrival of Sir Peggedy aboard the "Black Shark." Full color.
