Items related to Twas the Night before Christmas (Illustrated Edition)
A mid the many celebrations last Christmas Eve, in various places by different persons, there was one, in New York City, not like any other anywhere. A company of men, women, and children went together just after the evening service in their church, and, standing around the tomb of the author of "A Visit from St. Nicholas," recited together the words of the poem which we all know so well and love so dearly.

From School Library Journal:
PreS-Gr 2—The perennial holiday favorite gets a clean, brightly illustrated picture book treatment. The end papers, reminiscent of wrapping paper, let readers know immediately that this will be a traditional take on the classic, and indeed it offers few surprises. The illustrations show that the clatter has awakened the little boy instead of the dad, and while the text indicates St. Nicholas has a pipe clenched in his teeth, it has been removed from his jolly face in the illustration, in a nod to political correctness. For those in need of a fresh version, this would work for group presentations. VERDICT Not essential for most libraries, but one that will please the preschool crowd.—Anne Connor, Los Angeles Public Library
