In this retelling of the classic Christmas carol, The Twelve Days of Christmas, a young bear courts his true love. The twelve gifts that accompany him are wonderful indeed - they are the creatures of the northern woodlands with a magical twist. The calling birds are loons; the lords a-leaping, moose. And after all the gifts are given, the wedding celebration begins!
"A delightful new book for children, Woodland Christmas: Twelve Days of Christmas in the North Woods, has captured all our hearts here at Victoria. We loved the richly old-fashioned illustrations by Canadian artist Frances Tyrrell, who interprets the song's verses in terms of the bears, loons, moose and geese of Canada's northern wilderness."
