This holiday season the Priddy Books "My Fold Out 12 Days of Christmas" accordion-style board book has become our childrens' bedtime favorite. My wife began by singing the book in song format and within two nights our 3- and 4-year-olds were singing along with the different verses. The strong illustrations and repetitive nature of the song aid in the quick memorization, but this book also builds word recognition and counting skills. Since this is a fold-out, accordion-style book it also serves as a festive display on their bedroom bookshelf. A great gift find for all our friends with young children, but honestly, fun for all ages.
