This is a famous old poem which has been illustrated numerous times. This version claims to be edited by Santa Claus for the benefit of children of the 21st century.

Some of the pictures are downright funny - like how the reindeer screech to a halt on the rooftop! Again, suitable for ages 4 . A parent will also be able to use the pictures as a means to discuss the story as they are packed with details. (

Twas the Night Before Christmas by Clement C. Moore
ISBN: 9780987902306
Very colorful illustrated children's book about the night before Christmas. Each part of the story is displayed in
high graphics bringing magic to the page as you read each one.
This classic along with the pictures would be a delight to read every night til the holiday arrives.
The original illustrated very colorful remake of the children's story about Christmas Eve.
I found the colors to be more vibrant than how I remembered from reading the story as a child.
Great story for young and old. (
