A Piñata in a Pine Tree: A Latino Twelve Days of Christmas

32 pp. | Clarion | September, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-0-618-84198-1 $16.00
(2) K-3 Illustrated by Magaly Morales. In this zippy spin on "The Twelve Days of Christmas," a cherub-like girl dances across the pages as she accumulates gifts from her amiga. Morales's candy-colored acrylic paintings play with space and proportion and exude the girl's contagious holiday joy. The double-page spreads contain pronunciation guides for both gifts and numbers. Informative author's and illustrator's notes and music are appended. Glos.
