This book has been around for a while as a physical picture book, it's pretty popular in the library where I work, it's even been turned into a movie on DVD (although obviously with a fair bit more content than this book). This is the first time I've come across this on Kindle so decided to get it.  There isn't a storyline to this it's basically a parody of the classic Twelve Days of Christmas song, done dog themed starting off, "On the first day of Christmas my true dog sent to me."  Note you can also getThe Twelve Cats of Christmasif you prefer the lesser species.  The artwork is probably the reason to get this though. I am especially impressed by the final image of a Christmas tree made up of a heap of dogs. Although to be critical of the Kindle version, which is just the book opened to each two pages and scanned into the top 1/3rd of the screen, some of these illustrations come out to be a bit small.  You can of course zoom in and do other things but you shouldn't have to it should display better.  You'd think something published by a professional publisher would do a better job than most self-published picture books do.I don't want to give away the whole poem but a sample of the parody is twelve dogs a digging, eleven puppies pooping, ten labs a licking.  To read the rest you'll have to buy this.
