The Night Before Christmas

By: Moore, Clement C.

A gorgeous gift edition of a Christmas classic with a soft cloth spine and gold foil, illustrated by the beloved creator of Strega Nona.

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house / Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.

This beautiful gift edition of a beloved Christmas classic features Tomie dePaola's iconic illustrations in a wonderful new package. With a soft cloth spine and gold foil, this is the perfect Christmas gift for the whole family to enjoy.

While the family sleeps, rosy-cheeked St. Nicholas appears, filling the stockings with dolls and blocks, toy animals and candy canes, before taking off over the snow-capped hills in his sleigh.

Called "a shareable Christmas treasure" in a Booklist starred review, The Night Before Christmas was Tomie dePaola's 100th book when it was originally published and has been in print for over 30 years. Tomie dePaola's warm, nostalgic illustrations brings this beloved holiday poem to life, full of cheerful details kids will love to pore over.
