illustrated by Jane Ray
**STARRED REVIEW** Kirkus Reviews
Like the Twelve Days of Christmas? Illustrator Jane Ray’s new version for 2011 takes a slightly more light-hearted angle, as each of the twelve gifts is delivered to a young lady living in an apartment building. Both books are a great way to bring this famous Christmas carol to life!
