Woodland Christmas: Twelve Days of Christmas in the North Woods
by Frances Tyrrell

In a magical retelling of the classic Christmas carol, a young bear courts his true love. The twelve gifts that accompany him are wonderful indeed — they are the creatures of the north woodlands with a Canadian twist. The calling birds are loons; the lords a-leaping, moose. And after all the gifts are given, the wedding celebration begins!

"Without changing one single word of the original lyric, Tyrrell has transformed this favourite into a joyous celebration of love... Highly recommended, without reservation." — Quill & Quire

"A beautifully illustrated and designed Christmas story, full of magic. This is an exquisite book for any season" — 1995 Govenor General's Award Jury citation
