Book Review: The Twelve Days of Christmas Dogs: The Classic Edition by Amanda Sobotka, Chris Dunn (Illustrator) 🐶🎄
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I picked up The Twelve Days of Christmas Dogs: The Classic Edition with a grin, and it did not disappoint. From the moment I opened it I was charmed — the cover alone is irresistible — and the whole book felt like a warm, wagging holiday hug. 🥰📘
Amanda Sobotka’s playful reimagining of the traditional twelve days poem is exactly what it promises: a canine twist that’s both clever and comforting. Each spread introduces a new dog-filled scene, with breeds that range from fluffy Golden Retrievers to perky Beagles, dapper Dalmatians, and squishy-faced Pugs. The verses are simple and singable, making this an easy read-aloud for little ones (and not-so-little ones who adore dogs). Chris Dunn’s original illustrations truly bring the festivities to life — full of personality, color, and holiday cheer — so much so that you’ll want to linger on every page and point out each pup’s antics. 🐕🎨🎶
This book is such a sweet pick for families. It works wonderfully as a cozy read for children, but it’ll also make grown-up dog devotees smile. It would be perfect added to a child’s holiday bookshelf, slid into a stocking, or gifted to any pet parent who appreciates a heartwarming, humorous take on a classic carol. 🎁🛋️👨👩👧👦
If you love dogs and holiday spirit, this one’s an easy five stars from me. Delightful, beautifully illustrated, and utterly shareable — I’ll be reading this at every December storytime for years to come. 📚✨🎅
