The Night Before Christmas

I love this book. Big and bright and fun to read with my grandson. Thank you.

Such a charming, vintage style book. The pictures in the book are so warm, and gives the feeling of such home-ness and happiness. It makes me want to crawl in the pictures and be a little child again. I have it open to one of the pages with a ribbon tied to it and have it displayed on the mantle of my fireplace. The art work is just so beautiful and charming !!! Thank you !!!

The classic version—love it!!

Exactly as listed with timely delivery.

By far, the best illustrations I’ve ever seen in a “The Night Before Christmas” book. They are very whimsical, colorful, and filled with all sorts of details. There are a few lines on each page allowing for more pages with more illustrations. I found my previous version from a different illustrator did not keep my children’s attention due to the massive length of text on certain pages combined with a boring picture with minimal detail. Book also arrived on time in perfect shape.

When I heard that "certain groups" were looking to rewrite this beautiful classic, I immediately went on Amazon to purchase a non-edited copy for my grandson. I looked through a copy I found at warehouse store, and sure enough they had edited out the part of how St. Nick's pipe was blowing smoke wreaths round his head. I'm sure there are those who will argue with me about the PC of editing this piece out since smoking is bad for you, but I am equally sure that there are those out there who believe that there are certain classics that should be left alone, and that the parenting of children should be left to the parent. So if you are a parent or grand parent who loves this classic "as is", who believes it's not going to send kids into a smoking frenzy, who believe that the Cookie Monster's love of cookies will not create vegetable-hating-cookie-addicted children, and are tired of being treated like complete idiots who cannot be trusted to raise their children properly, then you will love this age-old version. And, oh yeah, bonus,,,the illustrations are beautiful!

Finally found an un-abridged non molested “Night Before Christmas”Had to look thru all the rewritten, PC, agenda driven, versions of this one.Exact same one I read to my kids 35 years ago.

We added this beautifully illustrated version of the classic poem by Clement C. Moore to our every growing set of versions of this poem. This one has vintage illustrations with plenty of nostalgic realism to make it a trip through yesterday. A favorite version.

This edition was hardcover, reasonably-priced, and the illustrations had a good period feeling. These were three of my main desires. The matching of images and text to the storytelling pace was not perfect, but good enough.

綺麗な絵で、とっても夢を見せてくれます。サンタさんの名前もニコラスと出てきて新たな知識。トナカイについても。色々な文化的な知識がありがたい1冊です。

勉強になりました٩(ˊᗜˋ*)وおもしろかったです！٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و

「身内の子供へのクリスマスプレゼントとして洋書のクリスマス絵本が最適☆しかもイギリスから届くなんて素敵～！」と思いこちらの絵本を注文したのですが、海外からクリスマスまでに到着するかとても心配でした。でもちゃんと届きました＾ ＾何よりももらった子供が大喜びしてくれたのが嬉しかったです。お店の方も急いで発送して下さったと思います。ネットでクリスマスプレゼントを調達するなんて味気ないかな？とも思いましたが、全然！いろんな方の思いが詰まった一冊の絵本、ずっと大切にしてくれるそうです＾ ＾

古い本なので、言いまわしといい、まさにクラシックという感じですね。私ではうまく読めないので、もっぱら主人が子供たちに読んでいます。
