The twelve days of Christmastide dictate which gifts to bestow upon your beloved. However, things are just a little bit different in Halloween Town. It seems Jack Skellington and his frightful chums have a different idea of what are acceptable gifts to celebrate the thirteen days of Christmas. Readers will be surprised and delighted with the ghoulish and spooky substitutions.

The Bottom Line: Fans of Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas will adore this take on the Christmas classic, The Twelve Days of Christmas. Recommended for kids and adults who enjoy something just a tiny bit spooky during the holiday season. The colorful ghoulish illustrations feature your favorite characters from the original story.

From Tim Burton, we get the thirteen days of christmas poem in The Nightmare Before Christmas form. The illustrated pages were colorful and charming. The poem was also very amusing because it played off of the movie, and overall it was a fun read that children will love. ( )
