Customer Reviews

lush images abound

In this retelling of "Twas the Night Before Christmas" Santa makes his yearly visit on Christmas Eve to Hawaii. The pictures are engaging and colorful, and so very beautiful that children will want to look at them over and over. The text is liberally laced with Hawaiian words which make the reading aloud a little clumsy, especially for those who are unfamiliar with their pronunciations, but the book is so appealing that families will make it a yearly holiday read. I discovered this book at a reading by a colleague and my children were so enchanted that they begged me to purchase them a copy.
