A Pinata in a Pine Tree by Pat Mora



It is almost my favorite time of the year and to celebrate I thought I would include this book based on "The Twelve Days of Christmas" ...but with a twist!

Suggested Grade Level: K-5

Summary: This story is a variation of the well-known Christmas carol, The Twelve Days of Christmas. However, the book replaces the partridges and other traditional gifts with pinatas, burritos bailando, and more!  

Connections: How would you include this text in your classroom? This book is a great choice to include in your classroom around the holidays! It can be used in a number of ways. Including counting, pronunciation, using context clues and making predictions. This really is a wonderful book for kids of all ages! Here is a link to another blog I found, that goes into this book more in depth.

Available in  English, Spanish
