This is a lovely book and the illustrations are beautiful. We read the book, listened to the song and discussed it. Great to share with children (my class are 7-8 years old and they throughly enjoyed it).

Wonderful Christmas book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 October 2020

This is a wonderful Christmas book for children. It has really beautiful and unique illustrations and the writing is superb. The book is set around the 12 Days of Christmas song and I enjoyed singing the song to my daughter as we were reading the book and looking at the gorgeous pictures. My daughter thought this book was really fun and she enjoyed counting all of the people, animals and items in the book. She also loved the black cat and she was excited every time she saw it. This is a book that I will read with her again, as it is coming up to Christmas time. This book is highly recommended for children of all ages and it is a fun, joyful book that will get you and your child into the Christmas spirit!

Beautiful stylishly illustrated edition of a well-loved traditional text

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 November 2020

If your Christmas picture book tendencies swing towards the traditional, or if like me one of your favourite things about Christmas is the music, then I recommend putting The Christmas Choir series of books by Lara Hawthorne towards the top of your festive wishlist. 12 Days of Christmas is the newly published second in the series and it is every bit as beautiful as Silent Night, which was released in 2018.

Over 32 pages Hawthorne has illustrated the text of the well-known Christmas song, using her edgy and stylish artwork. It is a quite a feat that she has achieved a wonderfully classic feel that is in keeping with the text through artwork that is simultaneously decidedly current. There is plenty of diversity within the illustrations, with pipers, drummers, lords and maids of all different colours and ethnicities. There are so many gorgeous little details, some of which I only spotted at the third of fourth time of reading.

On the final pages there is a little history of the carol, which I found really interesting, plus a beautiful spread containing all of the gifts received throughout the course of the song. Given Wee Reader’s love of search and find books, those pages are his favourites!

If gifting partridges in pear trees isn’t your jam, then perhaps consider wrapping this for your mini true love. With thanks to the publishers for gifting us a digital copy for review.

A fun Christmas Read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 October 2020

Thanks to #NetGalley, the publisher Quatro Publishing Group - Frances Lincoln Children's Books and Lara Hawthorne for providing me with a digital ARC of #12Daysof Christmas in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own and not influenced in any way.

I loved this book based on the traditional song, the illustrations were good and made the poem come to life. This would make a lovely Christmas present with the find the hidden objects on the last page adding to the fun.

4☆ Enchanting, Lyrical, Festive and Fun

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 December 2020

4☆ Enchanting, Lyrical, Festive and Fun

12 Days of Christmas is a beautifully illustrated children's book that captures the very essence of this classic Christmas Poem/Song.

Children can read along with the poem or read on their own.
Each page illustrated to represent each of the 12 days of Christmas.
I must admit I knew most of the poem but would always forget some of the order so this was a lovely sentimental reminder.

What I also loved was at the end of the book the Author gave some insight into the poem/song.
Children will love the interaction with this book, of searching for various things and counting so it's also Educational too.

12 Days of Christmas would make a beautiful present or a treasured keepsake, one I would highly recommend!

Thank you to Frances Lincoln Children's Books for this copy which I reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
