Following the format of The Twelve Days of Christmas, this book begins when the school holidays begin, and each day Mum gets more and more frustrated with a child who keeps watching TV, while the house gets more and more messy. In the end, Mum decides to ship the child off to Grandma's! The words can be sung to the tune of the famous Christmas song.
