Illustrated by
Kim Smith.
In each book, a kid visiting an out-of-town cousin receives Canada- or New England–specific gifts, one per day, during the twelve days of Christmas. On each spread, cheerful illustrations incorporate the presents or activities while chatty, overly explanatory letters written home to Mom and Dad give information; a map precedes each story and additional regional facts are appended. Review covers these titles: The Twelve Days of Christmas in New England and The Twelve Days of Christmas in Canada.
