The Twelve Days of Christmas by Laurel Long

What I liked about this book was the artwork, which shows you the things that are mentioned in the lyrics.


King of the Stable

There's this kid who's rich and he has servants do the work. One day he finds out from somebody that his father has been captured so he needs to go live with his uncle. When he gets there, he cleans the stable and takes care of the animals. His cousins tease him a lot, and call him the King of the Stable. One day Mary and Joseph come, so the guy has to prepare the stable. So he does that, and then Mary has her baby.


The Christmas Day Kitten

There's a doctor named James Herriot and he's friends with this lady, Ms. Pickering. She sort of has a cat, a stray named Debbie. One day James comes at Christmas and Debbie's lying on the carpet with a kitten. Debbie dies, and the kitten becomes Ms. Pickering's cat. In the end, she decides to name him Buster. He can retrieve balls.
