"A reimagined version of 'The Twelve Days of Christmas' with some hoppy new friends. Twelve colorful amphibians pass a bright-yellow present from one to the next while also getting help from various woodland creatures along the way. Each verse introduces a new natural wintry item such as 'ten holly leaves' or 'four snowy flakes.' There are even 'two rockin' robins' who join in the fun (which hints at the book's original publication country of England, where robins can be found all year). The frogs are collecting all of the items for a very special, festive reveal. The song scans well except for the inclusion of the frogs' names ('On the eighth day of Christmas / Tate frog gave to Kleine'), which can sometimes trip the tongue. These Santa hat-adorned amphibians, who first appeared in Robinson and Stanley's Ten Little Yoga Frogs, a U.K.

title that hasn't yet been published in the United States, strike curious poses against the snowy terrain, reminiscent of their moves in the earlier book. Snow-dusted pines, icy lakes, and frosted hillsides create cozy backdrops for this early concept counting book. The yellow present is ultimately opened (thank goodness, the only suspense found in the narrative is resolved) at the final festivities. (This book was reviewed digitally.) A cheery singalong to share."--Kirkus Reviews.
