The 12 Days of Christmas

Description

Elephant is delighted to get a gift, but as the twelve days of Christmas continue, presents pile higher and higher! A partridge in a pear tree? Cute! But soon, her dad despairs. Two turtle doves? THREE French hens?! And just what are they supposed to do with ten lords a-leaping? Kids will love each silly spread in this raucous take on the classic carol that is perfect for reading aloud around the fireplace.

[A] definite storytime addition."--School Library Journal PRAISE FOR GOOD NIGHT OWL "The pithy and accessible writing and the story's amusing absurdity make this read like a classic Arnold Lobel story."--The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books PRAISE FOR GOOD NIGHT OWL--2017 Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor
