It’s Christmas Eve, and Jim and his mother have left pirate gingerbread men for Santa. Jim’s favourite is Captain Cookie, who carries a gingerbread cutlass and has a toothpick peg leg. Jim keeps him close by his bed.
But late that night, when Jim is fast asleep, Captain Cookie step-taps away on a daring adventure to find his pirate crew and rescue them from that mysterious character he’s heard about: a cannibal named Santa Claus.
A masterfully illustrated tale, sparkling with all the excitement of a pirate adventure.
