This was an adorable book to read to my child who loves pirates and Christmas. This story does a great job of taking two of the popular names that Santa is known. I loved it!

The writing was simple and cleverly done to make an interesting Christmas story. I loved the flow to the book and the way that it rhymed. Nothing felt forced and the story came together well. It was a good length allowing for a detailed story to take place without losing the interest of the reader.

The text was in a clear font and was black and white. The colour of the text depended on the picture that was on the page. There were therefore different coloured backgrounds to the text. The story itself was in short lines, 4 lines to a page which made it easy to read and to keep focus.

The pictures were bright and bold with plenty of detail to keep a child's interest. Each time you looked at them you could spot something new.

Overall a lovely story with beautiful illustrations which I enjoyed reading to my youngest son.

This is a cute little story of two young brothers Nick and Kris, with very different personalities. The Brothers Beard, as they call themselves, play and have fun together.

But after an unexpected incident of piracy, they have a falling out. And it takes years for Nick to realise he did something really wrong, and he lost something precious as a result.

Meanwhile Kris has found a new family of sorts, and has a happy life. But eventually Nick hunts him down and the two reconcile.

And then...they find *new* things to do together. What, you ask? Read the book and find out! It gets 3.5 stars.

The story of Santa Claus with a pirate twist! I thought this was such a cute, unique story, and I loved it! I can see kids who are really into pirates (and others) being delighted by this!

My daughter is currently obsessed with pirates so, as you can imagine, I was ecstatic to receive an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
