A cute version of the Twelve Days of Christmas song for Hanukkah. The pictures are colorful and lively, and the text easy to sing. I just wish the last line wasn't always "a present waiting for me" but was about a candle instead.

My daughter chose this book from the library, and this is a girl who doesn't allow me to read anything unless it's Peppa or Llama Llama. I was super excited for us to read this together as she just started ballet. She LOVES this book. I will be purchasing a copy for her for Christmas this year. :)
