Product Description
DIVYoung 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#8212;who have visions of treasure chests, not sugarplums, dancing in their heads#8212;you wouldn#8217;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. BRPhilip Yates#8217; rollicking rhymes and Sebastia Serra#8217;s sprightly, fun-filled pictures#8212;featuring whimsically multicolored seahorses, stockings hung on the ship#8217;s bowsprit with tar, child-friendly pirates, and a complete treasure map#8212;turn this Christmas perennial into a jubilant celebration!/DIV

 Christmas a la pirates January 7, 2009
Pirates' Night Before Christmas is a must have for all children's collections. Combining the very current (and popular) pirate theme with the old Christmas classic- Night Before Christmas- makes for a wonderfully humorous read. Pirates of all ages will love this story and the illustrations work well with the story. Sure to become a yearly read for families and storytimes alike.
 Fun ride through the night before Christmas January 7, 2009
A great kids book, and a great twist on The Nightmare Before Christmas. It exactly what it sounds like-- the pirate version of this classic poem. Be careful, though, it's hard to read it without talking like a pirate.
Adorable! What a great book for young pirate lovers. November 30, 2008

I bought this book for my 4 year old godson since he loves pirates. He is an incredibly picky kid though and it takes alot to impress him. I gave this book to him on Thanksgiving and he LOVED it! I read it to him atleast 5 times while I was with him and he has his parents reading it to him every night.br /br /This is a very well written children's book and even had the adults laughing. He loved the very colorful interesting pictures and the pirates dictionary in the back ( though he already knew what all the pirate words meant).It's a big hit with him and I'm sure it would be for any child who likes pirates.

I bought this book for my niece's fourth birthday. I read the book myself before giving it to my niece. The book was not only an enjoyable read, but it was beautifully illustrated as well. I LOVED this book and was certain my niece would too. I also bought a pirate's hat to give her along with the book. She loved both the hat and the book!! I'm sure she will enjoy this book for many Christmases to come. I highly recommend this book for all the little pirates out there!

This is an instant "new" classic! The language whirls with wit, revealing anew a beloved classic. What child wouldn't be enthralled with the idea of pirates waiting for old St. Peggedy on Christmas Eve? One of the pirates sleeps in his hammock with his teddy bear, sucking his thumb! These are pirates we can relate to. Sir Peg's sleigh is pulled by sluggish sea horses, with hilarious names such as Salty and Scurvy! Sir Peg, himself, drips with seaweed and eels, and wears a skull hanging from his ear! But is he evil? No Way!!! He has presents for everyone--piratey things, some of which we have no clue as to what they are until we look closely--cackle-fruit eggs, me Hearties? Indeed! And poor little boy watching from the mast, what does he get? Well, you'll have to read it and see, but it's an Xmas prize, for sure! The joyous language, sly wit and spectacular illustrations all make for a wonderful treat. Not to mention the very droll Pirate Glossary at the end. Make this your new family treasure and revisit it every year. I know all the kids on my list are going to be thrilled to receive Philip Yates' latest gift.
