"On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me,

A partridge in a pear tree."

This is truly the most beautiful book that I have read to the boys for a while...

This is a very complete edition from Puffin books, with lyrics, musical score and hidden treasures within each page.

"Ms. Long has secreted lyrical clues within each picture that children will relish hunting down"
