A Pirate's Night Before Christmas

A Pirate’s Night Before Christmas by Philip Yates, illustrated by Sebastia Serra 2008

This is a familiar story transformed by the pirates that occupy it. The legend of Sir Peggedy is told in swashbuckling style. The book itself is a treasure; from a sled filled with sea-worthy gifts pulled by seahorses, to the toothless grins on the grimy faces of the pirates. The illustrations by Serra are wonderfully detailed, and throb with adventure.

Appropriate for ages 4-8
