Gingerbread Pirates
Author: Kristen

Genre: Fractured
Fairytales
Summary: Jim and his
mother were making gingerbread men on Christmas Eve. These were gingerbread
pirates. At bedtime, Jim took it to his room, wishing the pirate had a ship.
When Jim went to sleep, the pirate wondered where his crew was. He tested his
peg leg and he ran until he came to a cliff. Next, a mouse was nibbling on his
cutlass. The mouse called, “Merry Christmas!” Captain Cookie turned the corner
and saw a huge Christmas tree and two pirates looking at him; Wavy and Dots.
They heard Santa Claus coming and began to run away…all the way to a cookie
jar. Santa found them and promised not to eat them. He explained that he was
just in the house because it was Christmas. Wavy showed the other pirates his
ship and wished Santa a Merry Christmas. On Christmas morning, Jim’s mother
found an empty plate to the mantel. Jim was too busy admiring his presents. His
favorite was the pirate ship and its pirate crew.

Opinion: I thought his

ready for Christmas and I really think children would enjoy listening to a
story like this one.
