The tale know by everyone. A reprint edition of the book every family reads to their children the night before Christmas. The story is about when a man gets to witness for his own eyes the arrival of Santa Claus. This is a great story for a child's imagination and wonder right before the magical morning of Christmas.

What better Christmas tradition could you have than to sit down with your children, have hot chocolate, and read The Night Before Christmas? Most of us are quite familiar with the story, but reading it is magical! It's a journey back to childhood, and trip through our memories and how wonderful the holidays were while growing up. And, what better Christmas gift could you imagine? This is a masterful description of a classic Christmas, with all the holiday trimmings.

This is nicely illustrated edition of this children's Christmas poem composed in the early 19th century, originally for the author's own children and printed in a newspaper, before being distributed more widely. Famous for introducing the names of Santa's reindeer, it is genuinely funny and heartwarming.

It’s a happy surprise to find that children’s book illustrator Holly Hobbie has taken on this classic poem. And it will be no surprise to you for me to tell you that this is a lovely version of this old story.

My quintessential childhood book. An amusing poem that resonates with the Santa myth. Since this edition has such deep emotional attachment to my Christmas memories, my rating reflects absolutely no consideration of writing quality.

This classic Christmas story is a perfect book to read to a class right before Christmas break. This story talkks about what goes on in an everyday house the night before Christmas. This is one a my favorite stories still today. I think it is suitable for all ages. The rhyming is carried throughout the story and sure enough, santa leaves a heap of gifts for the children, nussled safe in their beds.

Classic, just a classic. All children should know this story like the back of their hands. Personally, this is my favorite Christmas book. I would read my students this book the day before we go on Christmas break just to get them excited and in the spirit. I would probably bring them hot chocolate as well just to make it extra special.

No changes in the poem that I could see off-hand. A with his other books, Cutting's illustrations are very bright and kid-friendly.

A very nice little booklet with the classic poem and Rackham's illustrations, which are as always capable though sometimes a bit irrelevant. I like the faces in his pine trees, though.
