Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2-This interpretation of the traditional song invites counting and offers surprises through the use of a gatefold on each reinforced, sturdy spread. The lovers are dainty-footed pigs who sport many changes of clothing and a variety of wonderfully evoked expressions as the house is overrun by each day's gifts. To very funny effect, the illustrations feature mice as the maids-a-milking, kangaroos as the pipers piping, etc., adding to the havoc. Original, clever, amusing, and interactive.-S. P.

Family's favorite version of the story,

This review is from: The 12 Days of Christmas: A Carol-and-Count Flap Book (Hardcover)
There is lots of sing-a-long fun for the whole family here. We have several book versions of The Twelve Days of Christmas song, but this one ranks first on the fun-fun-fun meter. Each day a young pig's True Love brings her a gift, hidden behind a fold-over section on the right-hand page, and the gifts pile up and the disorder does too. Finaly, all is in place, in order, and ready to sing.The illustrations are great, simple, and silly. This is a constrant grab by the youngest with the demand to sing. She's picking up the words as we sing along and by the end of the book, she's singing loudly and confidently, even if its not the right words. When we start, pretty soon everyone, including the cat, has come into the room and joined in. Kids love singing. They do it naturally and this book is a natural way to nurture that love.
