Binding Type: Paperback - See All Available Formats & Editions
Published: August 2004
Annotation: We have more than fifty versions of this wonderful poem in our library; this is one of our favorites. Margaret Evans Price has a gentle talent. The Santa Claus on the cover, and throughout, is one of the kindest, least threatening Santas ever imagined. Notice how his knees are slightly bent by the weight of his pack. See his big and prominent boots. This is a Santa who is appealingly earth bound. This is a facsimile of the 1917 edition. We have die-cut it, as in the original, and the rounded top makes it especially appealing. This is an ideal first Night Before Christmas for a young child.

Here at Laughing Elephant, we have more than fifty versions of this wonderful poem in our library - this is one of our favorites.

The immortal words of "Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house..." have never sounded better than in Laughing Elephant's facsimile of the 1917 poem. Retaining the original illustrations and text, this reproduction is both familiar and completely unique. And, Margaret Evans Price has created one of the kindest Santas ever imagined - just look at the cover! Her illustrations blend beautifully with Clement Clarke Moore's famous words, creating the perfect Christmas time story. Laughing Elephant's The Night Before Christmas also features the original die-cut shape, with an additional and extremely appealing rounded top.

This is an ideal first Night Before Christmas for a young child. Read it before bedtime and watch the young ones drift off to sleep with visions of sugarplums in their heads. All is calm, all is bright.
