Readers young and old are invited into the enchanting world of Mary Engelbreit in this sparkling edition of Clement C. Moore's classic poem, The Night Before Christmas. It is the night before Christmas, in a house so cozy and colorful, so filled with expectation, so dusted with Christmas magic that only this beloved illustrator could have created it. Shhh! A mouse is asleep in its snug den and children are dreaming as sugarplum fairies flutter around their bed. Then, there's the jingle of bells… For this merry celebration of Christmas, Mary Engelbreit has filled every page with bewitching details, rich color, and memorable characters. These include a bevy of mischievous elves, an adorable mouse, and a lovable, bespectacled Santa. The images in Mary's joyous vision will bring discovery and delight to generations of readers.

Madison H. ★★★★★

The illustrations in this edition are gorgeous and have that warm, old-fashioned feel that makes it a joy to read aloud. My son now asks for it every night, and the sturdy hardcover has held up well to his page-turning.

Nicholas ★★★★★

My daughter picked this off the shelf because of the glittery cover, and now it's our default Christmas Eve read. The Engelbreit illustrations are busy enough that she finds something new on every page, which buys me an extra few minutes of calm before bed.

Matthew ★★★★★

I bought this to read aloud on Christmas Eve and the poem's rhythm had my four-year-old mesmerized by the second page. The illustrations are warm and detailed enough that she keeps finding new little details in the backgrounds.
