The twelve days of Christmas

The other day we got a copy of [b:Jesus: His Life in Verses from the King James Holy Bible 7671143 Jesus His Life in Verses from the King James Holy Bible Gennady Spirin https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1355027896s/7671143.jpg 10283408] and really enjoyed the artistry. Then I recalled that I also really liked a [b:Goldilocks and the Three Bears 6353935 Goldilocks and the Three Bears Gennady Spirin https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1355028767s/6353935.jpg 6540539] version as well, so when I saw this picture book special for Christmas on a great bargain deal, I snatched the opportunity to add it to our shelves. It was perfect timing as in our curriculum with Memoria Press Kindergarten we were reading [b:The Twelve Days of Christmas 29030 The Twelve Days of Christmas Jan Brett https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1167959906s/29030.jpg 29503] in the [a:Jan Brett 16325 Jan Brett https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1325711282p2/16325.jpg] version, so being able to bring this one out and show my girls another illustrators take on the song was quite magical. They are so different, but both so grand. Then if you recall we also enjoyed the new interpretation from [a:Susan Jeffers 3392593 Susan Jeffers https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1294350388p2/3392593.jpg] in her [b:The Twelve Days of Christmas 17349082 The Twelve Days of Christmas Susan Jeffers https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1366775781s/17349082.jpg 24090131]. It is also beautiful, but not written in a way where you can sing it. This version from Gennady Spirin is definitely written in a fun way to sing it, which for us works quite well.
