Synopsis

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. It's Christmas Eve, and the entire house is sleeping -- except one boy, woken by the clatter of hooves on the roof. As he tiptoes downstairs, who will he find?

About this title

About the Author:

Clement C. Moore was born in New York City in 1779. A professor and writer, he is best known for this poem, which he wrote for his children in 1822. Originally entitled A Visit from St. Nicholas, the poem soon became better known by its famous first line: ’Twas the Night Before Christmas.

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
