The Worst Twelve Days of Christmas

One of my favorite children's Christmas books. Ordered this one for a dear friend. Have also read aloud in a first and secondgrade classrooms and had the whole class shouting the tag line as it was repeated!! Especially good for older sister with a littlebrother!! Twelve worst days of Christmas.....YES!!!.....and the BEST!!!!!

My students loved hearing this story and asked if we could sing it together at the end of the story. So sweet!

It is a very cute variation of The Twelve Days of Christmas. Many students can identify with having a younger sibling, cousin, friend that messes things up but they still love them.

A great story to show the true meaning of Christmas in fun rhyme. My students loved the familiarity of the 12 Days of Christmas with a more modern feel they could connect with.

It was a very fun reading, however, the illustrations in the book are just phenomenal. I plan to read this book every year at Christmas time with my children.

Our grandkids loved repeating the line "and a stinky baby messing with the tree". We would highly recommend-a great Christmas book with wonderful illustrations.

Is Christmas going to be ruined by a little brother who gets into everything?Becoming a big sister isn’t easy, especially once the baby is old enough to crawl around and break important things. This book had an honest and funny take on what it’s like to have a new sibling who seems to be more trouble than they’re worth. I especially liked seeing how it repeated all of the baby’s bad deeds as Joy and her family kept preparing for Christmas. This was a clever and interesting take on a classic song.Some of the rhymes didn’t quite work. For example, at one point the narrator tried to make the words “stairs” and “tear” rhyme. When it read that section out loud, I kept wanting to either say “stairs” and “tears” or “stair” and “tear.” This happened a couple of other times, too, with different words in the poem. While I enjoyed the concept of this tale overall, paying closer attention to small details like this would have lead to a much higher rating from me.After she spent most of the book complaining loudly about the annoying things her baby brother did, I couldn’t wait to see how Joy would behave on Christmas morning. The ending to her troubles couldn’t have been better. Not only did it fit the tone of the story perfectly, it made me smile as well.I’d recommend The Worst Twelve Days of Christmas to any family that is looking for a lighthearted way to talk about sibling rivalry this holiday season.originally posted at long and short reviews

Love! I really love the artistry. Neat to read this is the illustrators first children’s book. I hope he has many more. The story is great. I was concerned at first, but it goes well. A great family read, especially for that uncertain and new older sibling.Review book, honest opinions.
