The carol "The 12 Days of Christmas" was first created in the 1500's and passed from person to person throughout the ages. Over the years, its lyrics have evolved and shifted meanings. These hand drawn images were created to evoke the essence of the song's joyous seasonal traditions.

Precocious, adventurous, and loaded with charm, Willy Nilly, twin armadillos from the Texas hill country, ramble from one exploit to another in their first book of action packed frivolity.

Walter is a fun loving and friendly pumpkin. He is the only pumpkin vine in the garden and grows from a happy seed. When he sprouts, he is greeted by a bird named Robin. He dances and sings with his many vegetable and animal friends.

One day he is faced with an approaching storm. Just as it seems all hope is lost, he is rescued. Walter soon discovers how special it is to be a pumpkin. He is greeted by singing children who honor him with Halloween's Jack-O-Lantern crown.
