In this spirited reworking of the classic "Twelve Days of Christmas", a young girl has to deal with her first Christmas with a new baby brother - and nothing could be worse. He drools on the ornaments and ruins the presents, and he's on the verge of taking over the whole holiday. A sweet surprise turns the tables on the older sister, who eventually appreciates what her baby brother adds to the holiday. This is a funny holiday book with a heart-warming sibling acceptance angle.
