"On the first day of Christmas My true love gave to me A partridge in a pear tree." 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.

Traditional Christmas song. All grades.

Whimsical illustrations spread holiday cheer in this new take on a timeless Christmas classic. From swans a-swimming to ladies dancing, The Twelve Days of Christmas comes alive with each turn of the page. Beginning outside a picturesque village, and journeying through festively decorated streets as the caroling procession grows, The Twelve Days of Christmas culminates with a huge celebration in the village square--complete with a partridge in a pear tree. It's enough to make lords leap, pipers pipe, and drummers drum!

More and more gifts arrive from a young bear's true love on each of the twelve days of Christmas.
