About This Book
Reach for this book when you want to channel holiday excitement into a fun, low-pressure learning activity or when your child needs a break from traditional, formal Christmas stories. This book replaces the standard 'Twelve Days of Christmas' lyrics with groovy, modern alternatives like onion rings and surfboards, making it a perfect fit for families who value humor and creativity over strict tradition. It focuses on themes of friendship and joy through a musical lens. Appropriate for preschoolers through early elementary students, it serves as an excellent tool for practicing counting and pattern recognition. Parents will appreciate how it encourages children to reimagine traditions in their own unique way, all while maintaining the laid-back, positive 'it's all good' attitude that Pete the Cat is known for. It is a secular, high-energy celebration of spending time with friends during the holidays.
