The 12 Days of Christmas

(2) PS The traditional carol's lyrics frame this boisterous telling in which a little elephant receives twelve days of Christmas presents. As the house fills with French hens, turtle doves, etc., the thrilled little elephant's beleaguered caregiver is increasingly--and humorously--overwhelmed. Pizzoli uses a Christmassy color palette to eye-catching effect; comical changes in facial expression convey the child's increasing delight and the grownup's mounting frustration.
