Bookroo's summary

Aboard a ship of playful pirates dreaming of treasure, an unexpected visitor arrives. Sir Peggedy, with his peg leg and hook arm, brings holiday cheer as he guides eight giant seahorses. Will these brigands find the treasure they seek, or will Sir Peggedy's visit bring a different kind of bounty? Dive into a whimsical adventure where stockings hang from the bowsprit and a treasure map promises excitement. Join the crew as they navigate a night filled with surprises and festive fun.

From the publisher

On a ship of mischievous brigands–who have visions of treasure chests dancing in their heads–Sir Peggedy, with his peg leg and hook arm, pays a visit to the child-friendly pirates along with his eight giant seahorses: Salty, Scurvy, Sinbad, Mollie, Cutthroat, Cross-Eyes, Roger, and Jolly.
