Praise for The Night Before Christmas Series:

"The hilarious story of one of St. Nick's alligators who was left behind after the toys were delivered one Christmas Eve."
-ForeWord

"Fans of James Rice's illustrations, done in pen and ink with watercolor, will probably want to add this one to their collections."
-Children's Literature Comprehensive Database

It's the day after Christmas, and Boudreau's children are noisily playing with their new Christmas toys. His head hurts, and he needs to get away for some peace and quiet. As he drifts down the bayou in the moonlight, Boudreau spies Pierre, a fat alligator accidentally left behind by St. Nicholas! Boudreau offers to take the good-humored alligator home as a pet, but will St. Nick ever come back for his lost gator? And what will his children think?
After a Christmas filled with children, a dog, grandparents, neighbors, chaos, and laughter, sisters Jenny Jackson Moss and Amy Jackson Dixon felt inspired to write this book. Moss lives in South Carolina. Dixon, the illustrator of Pelican's Who's That Tripping over My Bridge?, resides in Colorado.

James Rice (1934-2004), in his long, distinguished career as an author and illustrator, produced more than sixty children's books, among them several additions to The Night Before Christmas Series. Cajun Night Before Christmas�, Rice's first book, has been nationally recognized as a classic in its genre. Rice taught art and music at both high school and college levels and loved teaching children the joys of writing and illustrating. With more than 2.5 million copies of his books in print, Rice ranks among the nation's best-selling creators of children's books, having received awards from Printer Industries of America and the Children's Book Council.
