The Worst Twelve Days of Christmas

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Ryan Wood. Joy's new baby brother is wrecking her Christmas: "7 flattened snowmen, / 6 shredded cards, / 5 shattered ornaments...and a stinky baby messing with the tree." However, baby Sam's exclamation of "Joy!" shifts her perspective: "7 rebuilt snowmen, / 6 cards' confetti...and a LOVELY baby stinking up the tree." Digitally enhanced illustrations humorously capture the growing pains of having a new family member.
