On the first day of Christmas, a gift was sent to me . . .
a parrot in a palm tree!

Ahoy mateys--Christmas be comin', and even pirates celebrate! In this exciting, vibrant, high-seas reimagining of "The Twelve Days of Christmas," a brave cabin boy receives marvelously mysterious gifts for 12 days. But who are they from? With a lively sense of fun and rhythm, and energetic pirate slang, Philip Yates and Sebastia Serra create a delightful world all their own--and the perfect introduction to a traditional Christmas carol for the Advent season. Carefully abridged from the original hardcover for a board book audience.
