The Twelve Days of Christmas

(4) K-3 Griffin illustrates the familiar Christmas song with less-traditional, elaborate hand-embroidered fabric collages. The ten pipers are snake charmers from India, and the golden rings are worn by an elephant. Griffin concludes with unsourced information about how the song might have been used to teach children Catholic principles, such as the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit. Decorative but not much more.
