12 leaping lords,
22 dancing ladies,
30 fiddlers,
36 drummers,
40 milkmaids,
42 swans,
42 geese,
40 gold rings,
36 calling birds,

and 12 partridges in pear trees?

In this playful companion to Hilary Knight's The Owl and the Pussy-cat the presents never stop. When Bedelia Bear is faced with an accumulation of holiday offerings from her sweetheart, Benjamin, she turns her gifts into a very special event that everyone is able to share.
