AbeBooks’ 12 days of Christmas - day one
We thought it might be fun to rework ‘The 12 Days of Christmas’ in a bookish way. So from now until Christmas, I will post each day with the literary equivalent to that day’s gift, and yes I’m well aware the 12 days actually run from Christmas until the beginning of Epiphany, but if I’m changing the song I might as well change the dates too… So without further delay.
“On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me F Partridge In a (pear) Tree”
In A Tree - Places For Thinking by F. Partridge - an entertaining storybook published by the Australian Council for Educational Research in 1999, this book provides a “way in” to a collection of questions and ideas which children should find intriguing.
