The Night Before Christmas illustrated by Tasha Tudor

I discovered this book 31 years ago, for my daughter and it is still loved by all the family. The illustrations are wonderful, warm, charming and delightful and bring a special meaning to the story. We still read it to all the young children on Christmas Eve and for adults we read the story and pass a grab bag gift every time the word THE is mentioned. It would not be Christmas without this book. It is magical.

The Night Before Christmas, Illustrated by Tasha Tudor

This is a beautifully illustrated version of the Christmas classic. Adults as well as children will be fascinated by the detailed drawings, which show animals as well as children and adults experiencing the wonder of Christmas.

Great illustrations

The poem is legendary of course but what my children (3 and 6) love is how Tasha Tudor brings the story to life. Every drawing has so many things going on that they find new ones every time we read it. By far their favorite Chistmas book.

The best version of the great classic we have found.

The classic story is brought to life with superb illustration. My 2 year old daughter and I read it over and over to prepare for Santa's visit this Christmas. It is the best version of the book we have been able to find. This makes a great newborn gift!

Gorgeous Illustrations! Must have for Christmas!

This is a beautiful book we received as a gift and have purchased for many family members and friends for Christmas gifts. A tradition for every family!
