On the First Night of Advent

When the Christmas season begins, it's time to celebrate and count down the days until the big holiday! This festive book is perfect to share with little ones who are excited for Christmas to come.

From ornaments and toys to cookies and candy canes, every night of Advent reveals something special behind a new door. This bright, engaging adaptation of "The Twelve Days of Christmas" turns the excitement of opening an Advent calendar into a magical read-aloud celebration.

Children at home, in classrooms, and in Sunday schools will love following along as the surprises build night after night, making the wait for Christmas morning more fun than ever!

Tish Rabe is a beloved children's book author with over 160 titles to her name, including books for Sesame Street and Curious George. Like Natasha Wing with The Night Before Christmas, Rabe puts a fresh, festive twist on a timeless tradition with On the First Night of Advent.
