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.
