About the Book:
A partridge in a pear tree? Ten lords a-leaping? Now who would want such gifts? And more importantly—why would they be given?
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 it—even if a partridge in a pear tree wasn’t exactly on his wishlist.
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 he’d like this?!
Adam Rex is the author and illustrator of more than forty books for kids. These include New York Times bestselling picture books like Frankenstein Makes a Sandwich and School’s First Day of School. His work has been adapted for film and television. He’s won some awards, including the Margaret Wise Brown Prize in Children’s Literature and the National Cartoonists Society Book Illustration Award. He used to make art for games like Dungeons & Dragons and Magic: The Gathering. Sometimes he still does.
