What Kind of Book is The Gingerbread Pirates
Reviews
This was a fun and entirely original take on gingerbread men at Christmas and will thrill your little one's imaginations with the daring of what one little cookie can accomplish. I was a little nervous about whether I'd like this book, but in the end, my heart was softened to this book, just like Captain Cookie's was towards Santa Claus.
A fun twist on gingerbread men to have them be pirates! The captain goes through quite the adventure while the humans are asleep to figure out what Christmas is and to stop Santa from eating his crew.
