The Twelve Days of Christmas
There are two points of difference with this version of the twelve days. Firstly every page contains a peep hole which culminates in the final resolution where we see all the gifts. Secondly this is the first version that I have explored which uses numerals for the numbers which gives the text a counting book feel.
So much thought has gone into this book ... The Book Bag
Britta Teckentrup is the illustrator of over seventy books. Her version of the twelve days was first published in 2014. I purchased a new paperback edition (2017) last week. There is also a board book edition of this title. She lives in Berlin. Her newest book is the wonderful poetry anthology Tiger Tiger Burning Bright.
Britta has five books with peep-through pages - Ocean, Moon, Bee, Tree and the one I have featured here.
