On the first day of Christmas my parents gave to me . . . a holiday book about my very own state!
 
Merry Christmas from the Bluegrass State! Come along on a wild ride through Kentucky as Marybeth introduces her cousin Martin to all her favorite places, activities, and foods. While they travel from Lexington to Louisville to Paducah, Marybeth gives Martin some really cool gifts—like 4 lucky horseshoes when they visit the Kentucky Derby and 10 lumps of black gold from the Coal Mining Museum in Benham.
 
This joyful entry in “The Twelve Days of Christmas in . . . “ series entry features terrific art and lively text by a native Kentuckian that perfectly captures the state’s spirit.
