review 1: I felt this book was well done. There is a bit of Christmas magic in it.It's Christmas eve and the captain of gingerbread pirates goes on a search for the rest of his crew. He has heard that someone wants to eat them. Not only does he find his crew, but Santa too. The funny thing is that none of them know who Santa is or even about Christmas. What happens to them at the end of the story is a nice twist. I didn't see it coming at all. My son didn't understand what happened.
review 2: I have to admit, I had never thought of Santa Claus as a cannibal, but now that I see the world through the eyes of a gingerbread man, I can see his point quite clearly.This year as little Jim is making Christmas cookies with his mother he has a brilliant idea, since pirates are his... more favorite thing, why not make gingerbread men that look like pirates.That evening, as Jim is going to sleep, he wishes that Captain Cookie had a pirate ship.They must have been magical words since suddenly Captain Cookie burst to life wondering where his crew is and who is this “Santa Claus” that wants to eat them.What ensues is a very funny magical story involving cliffs, hungry mice, rescuing his crew and a terrifying encounter with a cannibal. A very funny Christmas yarn that will become a family favorite. less
