"On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me... / a party in a pear tree." In this festive, playful rendition of the traditional carol, a boy gives a girl twelve days of presents, including four magic mice, seven skiing squirrels, and ten singing snowmen. The art has vibrancy and warmth, and the rhyming text is jovial. Sheet music is appended.
