Twelve Days of Christmas Presents [Hardcover]

Harriet Ziefert (Author), Emily Bolam (Illustrator)


Available from these sellers.



Book Description

3 and up
A fun twist on a favorite holiday song, and a truly dazzling countdown to Christmas.

On the first day of Christmas, my mommy gave to me, A puppy under the tree.

Kids will be singing with joy. What a magnificent Christmas present this beautiful book will be, with its shiny foil cover, spot lamination, spectacular images that count down to the holiday, and a clever children’s variation on a favorite song. Instead of the old-fashioned partridges, maids-a-milking, and lords-a-leaping, youngsters will find colorful hula hoops, wind-up toys, furry bears, trains-a-tooting, and jelly babies. Each adorable page builds on the one before, as the cumulative song grows and pictures of the fun gifts accumulate. The grand finale features tiny pictures of all the objects in the song, arranged from top to bottom in ascending order, forming a very special Christmas tree.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS–In this retelling of the traditional song, various relatives and friends give a child presents (three hula hoops, two storybooks, a puppy under the tree, and so on) throughout the 12 days of Christmas. There isn't anything particularly new or interesting about the changed wording, and because a different person is giving each day's gift, it doesn't make sense for all of the previous days' offerings to be repeated. However, young children might be attracted to the bold outlines and bright colors of the art, as well as the use of a rebus to illustrate each new item. Attractive but unnecessary.–E. M.
