The Twelve Days of Christmas
The Twelve Days of Christmas | Jan Brett
9 posts | 6 read
A centuries-old favorite holiday carol, "The Twelve Days of Christmas" was one of the first to celebrate the secular tradition of gift-giving. This sumptuously illustrated version features not only the gifts of a suitor to his true love but a loving family's Christmas preparations, how to say "Merry Christmas" in 12 different language, and a vast array of charming woodland animals.

I love Jan Brett's illustrations, which make this book a delightful read. My favorite part is how she uses the main part of the picture to illustrate the text, but has an entire background story occuring in the intricate borders. In this one, a family finds a Christmas tree & decorates it while the main items from the traditional song are illustrated in the foreground. A lovely rendition. #WinterGames #MerryReaders

My kids don't shake their presents because, well, under this tree is at least 65% books. 😬 (Don't worry, they'll also get some toys...) 🎄✨📚

Foxyfictionista I always loved getting books for Christmas over toys. 😆 8y
saresmoore @Foxyfictionista Same! And in my defense, one of my daughters did ask for books. 🤓 8y
