The Twelve Days of Christmas

(4) PS The carol's traditional lyrics are illustrated with colorful folk art on sturdy cardstock pages. While the art is otherwise lovely, the little girl narrator is pictured as stiff and doll-like. As the gifts accumulate, the pages get more crowded with a pleasingly diverse cast of lords a-leaping, ladies dancing, etc., and the twelfth-day spread is quite cheery. A pretty but optional addition to holiday collections.
