“Here’s a song whose lyrics everyone knows and that therefore demands something spectacular to distinguish it. This version, sumptuously illustrated by Long, certainly delivers.” — The New York Times The astounding talent of Laurel Long brings this beloved song to life with breathtaking style. Set against a lush countryside, each day brings a new gift elegantly rendered. And like in the verses of the song, the previous gifts are repeated in every illustration, giving this striking artwork a hidden aspect, culminating in a staggering spread featuring them all. Readers will pore over every page, searching for golden rings, turtledoves, and all the rest, secretly tucked into each stunning painting. Laurel Long's unparalleled style makes this exquisite volume a treasure that will be cherished for years to come. “Ms. Long has secreted lyrical clues within each picture that children will relish hunting down.” — The Wall Street Journal * “Long expertly weaves religious and secular images into a visually arresting interpretation of the traditional carol.” — Publishers Weekly , starred review Review: So much fun! - My kids have loved this book for years now! It's a Christmas classic in our family since they're 2 years old, and bow they're 11y. We sing the song and try to find the hidden Figures multiple times every year. Review: An absolute must have - This is an awesome edition. the illustrations are so beautiful. It is a truly beautiful book to have. A must have for any library.

So much fun!
My kids have loved this book for years now! It's a Christmas classic in our family since they're 2 years old, and bow they're 11y. We sing the song and try to find the hidden Figures multiple times every year.

Love this book!
Fabulous illustrations with cleverly hidden pictures. Bought the hardcover version for our son when he was five but enjoy it as adults too. Have had this on our coffee table every Christmas now for the last decade. Also gave it as gifts to rave reviews - then the receivers bought more books themselves to give as well. A gem.

Beautiful Book
The illustrations in this book are beautful; there is so much to look at and discover. I would recommend it highly. Added comment: I would now describe this as a truly gorgeous book. The illustrations are so beautiful and so clever. On each page, the gift of the day is clearly illustrated, and all the other gifts given that day as per the verse are hidden in all sorts of places. So for example on day 5 you have the five gold rings, then you need to find all 4 collie birds, all 3 French hens, both turtle doves and the partridge. And some are more obvious than others - and some we haven't found yet. a book that keeps on giving! Marvellous.

Impressive graphics
Very impressive graphics. You can look for all the images of the repeated elements. Good fun for little ones and adults apart from being a book of reference for christmas.
