The Night Before Christmas by Clement Clarke Moore
This timeless Christmas rhyme is brought to life for children today in this beautiful boardbook edition. There are big, bright illustrations to look at, with sparkly glitter on details such as holly, mistletoe and snow, to really capture the festive feeling. Lift the flaps to see Saint Nicholas approaching and departing, and look inside his sack of presents. With a special felt finish on Santa's red coat on the front cover, this is a Christmas story to keep and treasure. 'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that Saint Nicholas soon would be there...When Clement Clarke Moore penned these words, he created what is arguably the best-known verse ever written by an American. A Visit from Saint Nicholas, which later became famous as 'Twas the Night Before Christmas, is now part and parcel of the yuletide tradition. This glorious boardbook brings the poem to life with bright illustrations of children, parents, presents, and Santa and his reindeer.Enlivened by sparkling seasonal effects and windows to open, this is a volume that will be adored by the whole family.
Clement Clarke Moore's famous 19th-century poem is largely responsible for the notion of Santa Claus that we still have today, including his physical appearance, his mode of transportation, the night of his visit, and the tradition that he brings toys to children.
