Twelve Days of Christmas Presents

(4) PS "On the third day of Christmas / my grandma gave to me / three hula hoops...," etc. Modeled on "The Twelve Days of Christmas," this ho-ho-hum cumulative rhyme focuses without apology on a little girl's pleasure at receiving presents, although on the twelfth day she does give her friends balloons. The flat, cheerful illustrations resembling children's art hit the right holiday note.
