Reading Railroad Books Night Before Christmas

by Clement Clarke Moore
Illustrator: Jean Hirashima

Penguin Young Rdrs Merch | September 1, 1993 | Trade Paperback

As St. Nick and eight tiny reindeer descend through a brilliant night sky, the famous Christmas poem begins. The father narrates the words just as Clement Moore wrote them, and artist Jan Brett captures the spirit of the story in glorious illustrations. Visually she extends it for children who will delight in watching two mischievous stowaways from the North Pole enthusiastically exploring the sacks of gifts on the roof. St. Nick, inside the house, is unaware, until the toys spill down onto the lawn -- then he turns with a jerk, and sees them. Antique toys and exquisite ornaments frame the borders, in which the father, St.Nick, or the family cat and dog can be found watching the action. A unique and beautiful edition, which all the family will cherish for years to come.

    A Sad Disappointment

    Carroll Merritt

    17 months ago

    I was really hopeful that this book would be part of our family Christmas Tradition. Sadly, the artwork at times was to say the lest disturbing. Santa looked like a demon elf and my sons were a bit frightened of the image. If you are looking for a delightful cheerful illustrated version pass this one by. Next time I will go into the store and preview the book first!

    Robert Sabuda books are amazing. The main picture, as well as the side pages, is very intricate. I would highly recommend this book for older children or for younger children with grownup help.

    A classic keepsake

    Another Robert Sabuda book to add to your collection. He takes a well known classic and uses clever, detailed pop-ups to illustrate the story. Watch out for the two reindeers that jump out at you. As typical of Sabuda, he saves the best for the last page!
