Customer Reviews

Texas Night before Christmas

This book is hilarious. Such a cute and funny version of Santa coming on the night before Christmas. If you love cowboy humor this is a must have book. Buy and enjoy for years to come.

Beautiful illustrations, lots of fun

This book has beautiful illustrations that really bring the story to life. The classic tale of the night before Christmas told with a Texas twang, it will delight adults, too. James Rice replaces Santa's reindeer with a team of Longhorns, and the winter snow with the Texas dust. It's even more fun if you can find a Texan to read it out loud!
