# If You Ever Want to Bring a Pirate to Meet Santa, Don't! - Hardcover

by **Elise Parsley** (Author)

**The fourth book in the _New York Times-_bestselling Magnolia Says DON'T series that started with _If You Ever Want to Bring an Alligator to School, Don't_ is another loud and cautionary tale of what _not_ to do...when you visit Santa.**

If your dad says you're going to meet a bearded guy with a red suit and a bag full of treasures...he is _not_ talking about meeting a pirate But Magnolia has already invited the misbehaving swashbuckler to jump in line to meet Santa. So what if pirates are on the Naughty List? She'll just teach this one to change his scurvy ways--no plundering or sword-fighting or plank-walking allowed Plus, Santa is happy to hear _everyone_'s wish list. Right?

It's YO HO HO versus HO HO HO in this rowdy and raucous holiday guide on how not to meet Santa, from Elise Parsley, the bestselling creator of _If You Ever Want to Bring an Alligator to School, DON'T_
