Delivers on the Premise submitted by Meginator on August 22, 2022, 9:34am This book delivers exactly what you’d expect from the title: a retelling of “The Twelve Days of Christmas” featuring various types of robots instead of the usual spread of gifts. Nathan Hale does a fairly good job of matching the rhyme and meter to the original song, even if some of the lines are a bit of a stretch and don’t quite work without twisting the emphasis a bit. The illustrations are inventive, including both the new robots and some of the older ones as they pile up on poor robot Santa Claus, and readers who enjoy robots should get a kick out of this book even if Hale’s inventions are a bit too abstract for everyone else.
