In this playful companion to Hilary Knight's
The Owl and the Pussy-cat, it's Christmastime, and Bedelia
Bear's sweetheart, Benjamin, won't stop showering her with presents.
What's a bear to do?
See what happens when Bedelia Bear transforms
her gifts into a very special event for others to enjoy. This
book comes with the lyrics and music sheet for "The Twelve
Days of Christmas" on the very first page. Detailed illustrations
are reminiscent of peering into a dollhouse. Cute country scenes
surround Benjamin as he delivers one present after another to
Bedelia's house. It's a charming illustrated version of a popular
Christmas classic.
