The Night Before Christmas - Clement Clarke Moore

In this fresh approach to a favorite Christmas poem, renowned illustrator Tasha Tudor invites readers to look at the tale through the prism of a Vermont setting that reflects her everyday life. Full-color illustrations. \n'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house \nNot a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. \nThe stockings were hung by the chimney with care, \nIn hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there... \nThere are countless renditions of Clement C. Moore's classic holiday poem, The Night Before Christmas, but none is cozier or more full of joy than this one, brought to magical life by one of America's most cherished and highly-acclaimed illustrators, the late Tasha Tudor. This special 10th anniversary paperback has a great new look, with a redesigned cover featuring an illustration of a Christmas tree and sparkling gold foil. With crisp snowy landscapes, warm glowing details, and a host of cuddly critters, children (and adults!) will love cuddling up and reading this festive holiday story as they stay up on Christmas Eve, waiting for Santa to come down the chimney.\n
