The Twelve Days of Christmas

(3) K-3 In this contemporary reimagining of the carol, Emma unwraps a present: a partridge in a snow globe. She accidentally breaks it, then cries herself to sleep and dreams of Santa whisking her away--escorted by two turtledoves, three French hens, etc.--to the North Pole to repair it. The watercolor and ink illustrations swell from panels in the framing story to lush, detailed double-page spreads.
