A fun variation on the classic Twelve Days of Christmas song. My students enjoy the idenity with our Christmas in south Florida. It can be used to learn a little about our location, or as a mentor text for writing one's own Twelve Days variation.

A fun variation of The Twelve Days of Christmas with a Florida theme. I was a little concerned that Day two was two turtle eggs, but at least the sender told the recipient to keep them warm and bring them back to Florida when she came.

Fantastic little Christmas book! I learned so much when reading this about Florida. Highly recommend reading this book if you are going to Florida.

This was a cute book. In letter form, facts and things about Florida are given to the reader. And each letter coincides with the Day of Christmas. Cute.

Adorable book that also manages to be very informative. If you or a family member either live in Florida or just enjoy visiting I recommend reading this seasonal tale.
