Twelve Days of Christmas Harper,

Content: G.
In this version of
the Twelve Days of Christmas, a little girl goes to the closet on Christmas Eve
and finds a present from Santa. When she
opens it, she finds a musical snow globe with a partridge in a pear tree. When she plays with it, it cracks. She cries herself to sleep on the couch and
falls into a dream where she travels with Santa and the rest of the song plays
out, and she sees French hens, maids milking, etc. At the end of the book she falls asleep when
she is watching Santa fix her snow globe.
She wakes in the morning, unwraps her present and finds her snow globe
all fixed.
Susan Jeffers is a great
artist and makes the song, the Twelve Days of Christmas, come to life through
the little girl character. The
illustrations are detailed and make the story more interesting. Overall, this is a fun Christmas book.
EL (K-3)-ADVISABLE.
