Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 3-A lovely Southwestern version of a Christmas standard. Vibrant acrylic paintings fairly leap off the pages. Richly textured colors outlined in black face corresponding lyrics, and often the illustrations break exuberantly out of their frames to spill back onto the facing page of text. The book begins with the musical score and lyrics, which have been rewritten to include "five turquoise rings, four silver spurs, three horned toads, two prickly pears, and a quail in a paloverde tree."-L.F.

My son loves to sing the last verse.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Twelve Lizards Leaping (Hardcover)
My four year old son loves to count the objects on each page and sing the last verse on every page. It's kind of a memory game, counting, singing, cultural and Christmas book all in one.
