This is such a FUN book! The kids and I are consistently mesmerized by Hilary Knight's illustrations, and his version of The Twelve Days of Christmas (c. 1981, 2001) proves no exception! In fact, this copy has proven quite a friend to the bed-ridden, flu-stricken children this week.

Each time the kids pick it up, they find another hidden delight. Knight's detailed illustrations do not cease to entertain while revealing yet another surprise.

| Knight gives us a page by page tour of this darling house; if only it were a REAL dollhouse! |
Needless to say, Hilary Knight weaves several tales in his ingenius, watercolor and colored penciled pictures. Unearth them for yourself and be newly delighted by a familiar carol.
Oh, I love this. Maren and I were at the library today and I passed up a very traditional (read: boring!) version. Will be looking this one up for our next trip! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI saw a copy of this at a thrift store for only 95 cents I think a couple years ago and really like it. My son is only two but I look forward to sharing it together more as he grows! Kelly
