Philip Yates' rollicking rhymes and Sebastia Serra's sprightly,
fun-filled pictures turn this Christmas perennial into a jubilant
celebration. Now in board! The stockin's were stuck to the bowsprit
with tar, In hopes that Sir Peggedy soon would be thar." With
impeccable rhythm and a great sense of fun, Philip Yates skillfully
adds pirate adventure to Clement C. Moore's beloved Christmas
story. Written from the point of view of a young boy on a pirate
ship, the book details his discovery of Sir Peggedy's arrival
aboard the ship and all of the excitement that follows. Yates's
energetic use of pirate language and Sebastia Serra's vibrant
illustrations, full of clever details, combine to create a world
all their own.
When a boy goes to the market to buy food and comes home with an
old wok instead, his parents wonder what they'll eat for dinner.
But then the wok rolls out of the poor family's house with a
"skippity-hoppity-ho " and returns from the rich man's home with a
feast in tow
With spirited text and lively illustrations, this story reminds
readers about the importance of generosity.
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 (9781402790010) offers a witty
reimagining 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 biastin', 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 Sebastia Serra create a delightful
world all their own.
