'Rennie presents The Twelve Days of Christmas in traditional Scots language alongside Land's graceful illustrations of a snowy Scottish countryside of rolling hills and quaint cottages. Preexisting knowledge of Scots pronunciations (or at lease a passable brogue) are recommended. A closing Scots glossary offers definitions, rounding out a charming, old-fashioned Christmas offering.'-- Publishers Weekly'Susan Rennie's The Twelve Days of Yule, illustrated by Matthew Land is a strictly Scottish version which introduces Scots words such as "hoolets" for owls and a new refrain that goes "An a reid robin in a rowan tree". The Scots words are easy to pronounce and fun to say making this a version that is perfect for all to join in and chant together.'-- The Guardian.
