thepepperkids.com Books - Twelve days of Christmas Book & CD

Recent Praise: "Thanks to Griffin's luxuriously appliquéd and embroidered collages and handmade-paper constructions, the 12 days of Christmas here add up to a visual feast. Sequins, beads, buttons, richly dyed fabrics and more embellish these spreads in celebration of the traditional carol about true love and creative gift-giving." — Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"The gifts in this lavish version of the familiar carol are elaborate fabric-based collages of ribbons, buttons, bells, laces and other festive trimmings." — New York Times

From its one solitary partridge to its twelve lords-a-leaping, this festively decorated version of the classic song "The Twelve Days of Christmas" features Rachel Griffin's sparkling hand-sewn collages. A Music CD with a lovely performance of the song accompanies the book, making this an irresistible gift package!

Perfect for gift-giving across generations, this exquisite version is full of surprises. The verses are interpreted with a distinctive multicultural flavor — the turtle-doves come in a Chinese pagoda while the pipers are depicted as Indian snake-charmers. The numbers themselves are elaborately embellished with golden threads and shiny sequins, making this a read-aloud, sing-along treasure to pour over again and again.
