The 12 Days of Christmas - Hardcover
A simple novelty that brings Christmas to life for even the youngest readers. Every day when Anita Pig opens the door, her true love is there with a new animal gift. At first she is charmed but then alarmed, as more and more animals take over her house. Then on the twelfth day of Christmas when Seymour Pig arrives with just the right gift: a serenade by all 78 animals. Every spread has a gatefold so you can open the door with Anita each morning to see which animals he's brought.

About the Author:
Tad Hills is the author and illustrator of My Furry Friends, also published by Simon & Schuster. He lives in New York with his wife and two cats Jasper and Tiger.
From Booklist:
Vagin illustrates this traditional carol with detailed watercolors dominated by visual allusions both to his native Russia and to his present home in Vermont. A handsome couple wearing fur-lined cloaks and riding in an elegant sleigh evoke an air of old Russia; frozen ponds and waterwheels, snow-covered houses and barns speak vividly of New England. Each verse of the song is introduced in expansive double-spread paintings beautifully presenting the fanciful gifts. Scenes of a winter carnival show children with animal hats and masks and musical instruments having a wonderful time on a frozen pond. A piano arrangement is appended, along with a brief history of the song's origins as a game. Shelley Townsend-Hudson
