The Rabbids Invasion offers a humorous version of the classic “Twelve Days of Christmas” in this paperback. Beginning with a “headache and a skinned knee” on the first day, the “gifts” become more bizarre as the days mount.

By the fourth day nesting birds, leaky pens and barking dogs have been added to the list and by day eight the sirens shrieking, bags-a-brimming, and hoses spraying make for a pretty messy and irritating situation.

This is meant to be funny and most youngsters will probably think it is, but their parents may not agree. The nonsensical silliness and busy illustrations, which cram a lot on each page, will make this a book your youngster will more than likely want to share with his friends.

Warning: Don’t let the grandparents see the section about the “nine grandpas farting” – that might not go over too well!
