A Pirate's Twelve Days of Christmas

A Pirate's Twelve Days of Christmas by Yates, Philip. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781402792250.

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 Pirates 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.
