Minnie: 高学年に読み聞かせました。
可愛らしい絵に癒されます。
そのあとPentatonixのYouTubeを見て（歌詞が少し原文と違うけど）盛り上がりました。

tigerfive: The words are well known so you don’t need a review for that. But the images are gorgeous. I never thought of this song as being a tool for teaching counting but our toddler was super into it and counting backwards.

Kate R: This book is just lovely! The words are just the lyrics of the traditional song. The pages are beautifully illustrated with cutaways revealing the newest gift each day. You do need to be careful not to tear the pages as they get more delicate the more cutaways in the last few days.

M. L. Brière: We have every peek-through book Britta Teckentrup has done and we love them all. As our baby is still an infant, we prefer the board books and this version of the 12 days of Christmas is stunning and fun. As always, the artwork is beautiful to look at and the story unfolds with the turn of each page or board! I highly recommend.

I. Ács-Juhász: Wonderfully illustrated and designed book, only it could be bigger in size to see the illustrations properly...

SamSpenceSamSpence: This book is the odd one out among Teckentrup's peek through books.. Unlike her other books like Tree, Bee and Moon, which has original prose, this book is simply the lyrics to the 12 days of Christmas. Each page you turn will reveal the gift for the next day of Christmas. This hard cover book is also more typical of hard covers with laminated glossy jacket when compared to the matte textured jackets for her other books in the same style.

Gorgeous illustration. My child loves to count every gift from scratch till the 12th day. It also teaches her how to work with paper to hide and reveal different patterns.

Luanne Ollivier: 3.5 It's that time of the year! Christmas is around the corner!

Britta Teckentrup has a taken the classic Yuletide song, The Twelve Days of Christmas, and written and illustrated a peek-through picture book for the younger crowd.

Teckentrup's elves have engaging, welcoming faces, sure to draw a child in. The cover's snowflakes and holly are in silver foil, giving the book a definite festive feel and look.

Most of us know the song, with the number of gifts increasing on each day. Teckentrup starts with a small cutout for day one of just the partridge in the pear tree. My little guy was immediately drawn to the cut out on the right hand page, wanting to know what was on the next page, and the next and the next. With each turned page, the cut-out increases in size to accommodate the growing number of gifts. (Trivia fact - if you received all the gifts you would have 364!)

There are many ways to enjoy this book - we sang the song, pointed to the right gifts/pictures and did some counting as well. By the time we reached the last page, it was full of presents. For these eyes, they were a bit small (necessary to fit them all in) but little guy has sharp eyes...
