Of all the Christmas books published this year, Alison Jay's The Twelve Days of Christmas has the least chance of being read. That's got nothing to do with it's attractiveness, because its beautiful cracked-paint illustrations conjure warm images of Christmas past. It's due to the fact that even though the order of the drummers drumming and lords a-leaping has been slightly rearranged to suit this courtship story, anyone who opens the pages will be unable to resist singing, rather than reading the familiar words of this traditional verse. -- Pet O'Connell * Evening Echo *
