<DIV><P>An award-winning author and a rising star artist have put a festive Latino twist on "The Twelve Days of Christmas," populating it with piñatas in place of partridges, plus <I>burritos bailando</I> (dancing donkeys), <I>lunitas cantando</I> (singing moons), and much more, all displayed in the most vivid colors imaginable. In this version a little girl receives gifts from a secret <I>amiga, </I>whose identity is a sweet surprise at the book's conclusion. There are things to find and count in Spanish on every page, with pronunciations provided right in the pictures and a glossary and music following the story. This joyous fiesta will warm even the coldest of hearts.</P></DIV>
