Counting down to Christmas with a new holiday book each day!

12 days of christmas The 12 Days of Christmas by Jane Cabrera

Another version of the popular Christmas carol, this time substituting animals, elves, stars, and snowmen for the traditional gifts.  Not only are the new lyrics more meaningful to children (who I’m sure would much rather receive cats and penguins than French hens and drummers), but the illustrations are lively and cheerful enough to keep readers poring over the pages.

The book ends with a bang (a ride in Santa’s sleigh!), and includes sheet music.

If you like this book, you’re sure to enjoy Jane Cabrera’s other illustrated song books.
