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.

Ryan ★★★★★

The illustrations in this edition are gorgeous, way more detailed than the board book version we wore out. My son traces the little mice with his finger while I read the poem aloud, and it's become our whole December routine.

Scarlett H. ★★★★★

My daughter asks for this every single night now, and the poem still holds up after decades. The illustrations are detailed enough that she spots something new each time we read it.

Hazel V. ★★★★★

The Engelbreit illustrations are what sold me — so much detail on every page that my kids spot something new each read. The poem itself needs no introduction, but this edition makes it feel special enough to leave out on the coffee table all December.
