So begins this clever adaptation of the beloved Christmas carol, in which author and illustrator Michael Storrings celebrates the things that we all love about New York City during the holidays. Filled with beautifully detailed illustrations of the most iconic symbols of New York, including five subway cars, four chestnut vendors, three cups of coffee, and two taxicabs, The 12 Days of Christmas in New York evokes all of the joy and wonderment that is skating in Central Park or shopping along Fifth Avenue. Elegant, fun, and able to fit into any stocking, this is the perfect gift for anyone who loves the magical way the greatest city in the world celebrates the most wonderful time of the year.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"..a clever adaptation of the beloved Christmas carol....the book uses warm-hearted, whimsical illustrations to celebrate the 12 things that everyone loves about New York City at Christmas. You'd be hard-pressed to find turtledoves, French hens, and milk maids in this city, so instead the author captures the perfect New York City moments with staples like chestnut vendors, horse-drawn coaches, and the perennial sidewalk Santas to create a portrait of what the holiday season really feels like in the Big, Apple. 12 Days of Christmas in New York City gives a perfect impression of what it means to spend the holidays in the world's most famous city." ~Quest Magazine
