"A man receives a house-full of strange gifts from his true love in this humorous take on the carol "The Twelve Days of Christmas.""-- - Random House, Inc.
A partridge in a pear tree? Ten lords a-leaping? Now who would want such gifts? And more importantlyâwhy would they be given?Â
Adam Rex investigates in this hilariously heart-warming tale based on one of the best-loved Christmas carols.
Our hero is having a lonesome Christmas away from his true love. So when she sends him a gift, of course he loves itâeven if a partridge in a pear tree wasnât exactly on his wishlist.Â
Twelve days later, his home is crowded with more birds, milkmaids, pipers, and other guests than he can possibly make sense of. Why would his true love think heâd like this?!
His search for answers transforms the disaster into a source of joy for the whole townâcomplete with a parade, a circus, and a fundraiser for the school library. By the time his true love gets home, the man finally understands what sheâs given him: the true meaning of Christmas.
But she has no idea what heâs talking aboutâ the whole thing was a wacky online shopping mixup. All sheâd meant to buy was a pair of gold engagement rings. She meant to propose!Â
Adam Rex, creator of Schoolâs First Day of School and many other beloved books for children, strikes again with this hilarious twist on the classic carol The Twelve Days of Christmas. Sardonic and earnest in equal measures, The Thirteenth Day of Christmas is a hit for any day of the year.
