Twelve Hidden Days of Christmas ($11.66 Hardcover; not available on Kindle), illustrated by Macky Pamintuan, is free in the B&N store. This one's for kids and I'd recommend you read it to them on the largest color screen you have. That is, if you can get it to download. It's in my library, but I can't get it to download on my pc (in the B&N reader, Nookstudy or from the library) or phone (although it did tell me it was too large to download via 3G) or my nook. I'm still trying on the iPad, but suspect this one either is completely broken or will require customer service (such as it is) to get straightened out.Update: Hey, maybe I should read all the notes - this one works ONLY with NOOKcolor, not on any of their apps (which begs the question of why not) and not on the original nook. Unlike Amazon, who makes the basic text and pics available no matter which Kindle you own, when you buy the Audio/Video enhanced editions (and they all work on the Apps, as well), B&N appears to have decided to support enhanced editions ONLY on the (not very well reviewed) NOOKcolor.
Book Description
Kids love searching for Christmas gifts, and they can get a head start on the holiday with this joyful twist on the popular carol. You’ll recognize most of the words from “The Twelve Days of Christmas,” but instead of “my true love” giving the presents, jolly Santa’s leaving them all around the house. Sharp-eyed children can accompany a curious little bear to look for St. Nick’s cheerful handiwork—as well as some festive extras that artist Macky Pamintuan has playfully added to the art, including jingle bells, a candy cane in the toothbrush cup, and bright snowflakes floating over the bathtub. As the items accumulate, the delight heightens, with ten frog lords a-leaping and sliding; nine pretty pink pig ladies dancing a ballet; and cow maids ready to do their milking.
The best is saved for last in a big ending: a huge double gatefold that’s actually four pages long, containing all the items delivered during the twelve days.
