Books with title The Twelve Underwater Days of Christmas

In this spirited reworking of the classic song "The Twelve Days of Christmas," Joy has to deal with her first Christmas with a new baby brother—and nothing could be worse. He drools on the ornaments and ruins the presents, he eats all the cookies and smashes the snowmen, and he's on the verge of taking over the whole holiday. Joy's patience runs out as the baby's mishaps pile up. A sweet surprise turns the tables on Joy, who eventually appreciates what her baby brother adds to the holiday. Sudipta Bardhan-Quallen and Ryan Wood pair perfectly for this funny holiday book with a sibling-appreciation message that will make readers laugh and sing along with every reading.

The Twelve Days of Christmas begin on Christmas Day and end on January 5th. Twelfth Night, the eve of Feast of the Epiphany, was traditionally observed as the last day of the Christmas festivities. The words to this English Christmas Carol were first published in 1780 but most likely originated in France. The music for the 12-verse round was composed by Frederic Austin in 1909. Twelve large, bright illustrations provide an enhanced reading experience!
