About this ebook
Kids giggle at this cute rhyming story based on the song “The Twelve Days of Christmas.” On the seventh day of Christmas, Jack the Cat “marches with the elves.” On the eighth day, he “helps to stock the shelves” of the local cat shelter. Jack decorates the palm tree, “snow” skis down sand dunes, and gets trapped in a gingerbread house. As Jack’s young fan Corey says: “Jack does crazy things at Christmas!”
Other RhymeTime storybooks include "Jack the Cat on Chicory Ridge" and "Jack the Cat in Florida," as well as "Willie: I Know You Are My Friend" and "Willie: Does it matter?".
Nonna Debora
Debora Emmert (Nonna Debora to her half-Italian grandchildren) developed RhymeTime storybooks for all young children (and grownups!) who think rhymes are both fun and important. Says Nonna Debora: “Lessons are learned from what your child hears . . . because story in verse is like music to ears.” She grew up on a farm with cats and a dog, a pony and horse, sheep, cows, and pigs. She loved the dog and tolerated the cats. (She thought they were sneaky.) But then she met Jack. She thinks he’s the coolest cat ever, and sees him every chance she gets. Nonna Debora’s rhyming stories about Jack’s entertaining escapades include: “Jack the Cat: Christmas in Florida,” “Jack the Cat in Florida,” and “Jack the Cat on Chicory Ridge.” Nonna Debora’s other rhyming tales are “Willie: Does it matter?” and “Willie: I know you are my friend,” which were inspired by the life lessons she learned from her family. She enjoys creating stories based on the wisdom she learned from her mother and father, as well as from reading Aesop’s Fables during visits to her grandparents’ house as a child. Over her years of mothering and teaching and grandmothering, Nonna Debora has enjoyed reading to many little ones — and has learned a thing or two about what captures a child’s attention. Ms. Emmert holds a BA in English from Quincy University, and a Master of Education from the University of Wisconsin.
