Philip Yates Books

This book serves as a fun way of introducing the classic poem The Night Before Christmas to younger children. On a pirate ship filled with mischievous brigands who have visions of treasure chests dancing in their heads, you will find Sir Peggedy cracking his whip and driving giant seahorses. A Pirate’s Night Before Christmas is a clever and humorous book with a story that will engage younger children and that could act as a stimulus for older children to change the original Christmas poem into their own imaginative new setting.
