For many centuries young and old alike have been singing about the
maids a-milking, the lords a-leaping, and a partridge in a pear
tree. A Christmas carol, a parlor game, and a delightful counting
song-The Twelve Days of Christmas - is indeed a favorite of the
holiday season.
In this book, sumptuously illustrated by Jan Brett, all the
splendid images of The Twelve Days of Christmas come joyously
alive. Look closely and you'll see not only the extravagant gifts
given by a suitor to his lady, but a love story, a family's busy
Christmas preparations, "Merry Christmas" in eleven languages, and
a veritable menagerie of charming creatures.
Jan Brett's exquisitely detailed illustrations so rich in
traditional folk motifs, make this book a visual treat to be
enjoyed over and over again.
