Gingerbread Pirates

The Gingerbread Pirates

Author: Kristin Kladstrup
Illustrator: Matt Tavares
Format: Hardcover Picture Book
Pages: 32
Recommended Age: 2+

I absolutely LOVE this book! It came out with last year's round of Christmas releases and it is such a fun story. It is all about the the gingerbread cookies, decorated as pirates, who come to life after being left out on Christmas Eve for Santa Claus. They run from the cookie plate and are trying to rescue their friends from the cookie jar when Santa comes down the chimney. Instead of eating them as they thought, he turns them into wooden pirates on the toy ship he had brought for the little boy who lives in the house. With lively, colorful illustrations and such a fun filled adventure story, this will quickly become a holiday favorite.
