    Description

    Everyone knows the famous words: “‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house . . .” Clement C. Moore’s famous poem was written in 1822 and has been a holiday classic ever since. This edition, with gorgeous illustrations by Jessie Willcox Smith, was first published in 1912 and is considered by many to be the definitive version of the story.

    GIANT repro of an old favorite -This is an over sized, board book reproduction, of the 1949 original golden book that we grandparents had when we were young- only this is sturdy so my little sister cannot tear out the pages in this one! Tho likely she has outgrown that habit, it's safe from the grandkids as well. We kept this one for ourselves, and is so big, we used it as part of the decor in our game room, which has an 'oldies' themed tree. It's app 9'' x 11'', seems to be a faithful repro of the original, the binding allows it to lay flat while reading, but possibly the binding may not hold up to abuse. Since it is special to us I wouldn't leave it in with the mass of books the little ones have anyway, but read it to them when they visit, perfect size for that. Am happy to see that the company seems to be bringing out some board book repros of the 'oldies but goodies' that we loved as kids, will be buying more, especially the over sized ones. The one downside for me that this book is made in China, would have gladly paid more for these old classics to be made here.5Most beautiful illustrationsThe best of both worlds. Reading the The Night Before Christmas has always been a beloved tradition for us and I was just delighted to find this beautifully illustrated version by the amazing ME. I have been collecting children s books illustrated by ME for my grandchildren and this is a gorgeous addition to their library. The detail, imagination and whimsy in her illustrations of this book are breathtaking. This may just be my favorite of our collection.5Beautiful & WhimsicalThe perfect classic for Christmas Eve reading! We wanted to start the tradition of reading this story to our son from his very first Christmas Eve, so I searched on Amazon for the one! This is what we chose and are so happy with it! It has a nice hard cover which will help it last for years to come. On top of the durability, the artwork is gorgeous. It really encompasses the Christmas spirit. I also love that it uses the original text, it will give us the opportunity to discuss the new words when my son gets older. The whimsy is what puts this over the top for us because it helps capture the magic of the holiday for our family.5Adorable!This board book is simply lovely. The art is bright and engaging and just perfect for drawing in little eyes.5Wouldn't get it again.While the overall illustrations are beautiful, the Santa Claus once again in this one is just terrible looking (his face and beard looks like some homeless scraggly person), he is out of proportion and the fur on his suit looks like it has never been taken care of in its life, and the belt and buckle look like an afterthought.The reindeer look nice.The poem also is abridged (something I didn't realize at the time of purchase) as it has been made politically correct with the part of Santa and his pipe having been removed.Why can't someone illustrate this poem/story with an awesome looking well dressed Santa, real looking reindeer and sleigh, and nice inside and outside details...and use the complete poem?3Nice, traditional Christmas book.I bought this to read to my kindergarten reading groups. (Groups of 4) It is a small book but it worked for me since we were all sitting around a table and I could hold it close to them. It wouldn t be good for a whole classroom at a time though because it s not big enough for that. But for one-on-one reading it s definitely just right. The pictures are fun and interesting. And the story is old-fashioned enough to not be commercialized. There was, of course, the one line about Santa Claus smoking his pipe, but I just skipped that stanza and the kids were none the wiser. (The pipe-smoking wasn t all that obvious in the illustration either.) Definitely worth the money, however I wish I would have bought the pack of five Christmas stories for $20, but I didn t see that until after I ordered this one.5Beautiful book!This Clement C. Moore/Mary Engelbreit illustrated version is by far the BEST Night Before Christmas book for children. It's the perfect size, the pictures are EXQUISITE, so much color and detail that you can't stop looking at the pages. Other books I've seen with this title haven't come close to the beauty of this book. I've purchased one for every new baby that has come into our family so their parents can read it to them every Christmas Eve. It's a wonderful tradition to start. I highly recommend it.5Very poor printing making what could be lovely illustrations very murkyWhen I found this book (The Night Before Christmas, illustrated by Gennady Spirin) I was very happy. I am a fan of Gennady Spirin. His illustrations are just wonderful. This book, however, is poorly printed. The illustrations are not sharp and clear, but dull and murky. It is too bad that readers cannot see the illustrations in quality color.1I love this story and was very excited to add it ...I love this story and was very excited to add it to my daughter's Christmas book collection.Pros: The cover is puffy/squishy which gives it a childlike allure. The pictures are both realistic and cartoonish which allows a certain type of fantasy meets reality type of feel. I thoroughly appreciate the imagery of the book as it is something that will not be outgrown. I should also say this book has a nostalgic feel to me as pictures somewhat remind me of a book I owned when I was little.Cons: The binding feels a little cheap, like if I were to handle it a little too roughly (or just simply over time) the pages would fall loose. The pages themselves feel very thin. I'm very nervous reading the book around my 1 year old as I feel one quick move on her part would shred the page in seconds.Overall a great buy for the money and a great pictorial rendition of a classic Christmas poem.4Extremely Happy with my Hallmark "Night Before Christmas" Pop-Up Book from Escape FictionI recently purchased this vintage Hallmark book through Escape Fiction and I can honestly say, I am extremely happy with my purchase. I live in a more remote, rural, area of Canada, and finding these kinds of finds is quite difficult. The book was shipped in 2 weeks when it was estimated it would take 6 weeks. I remember reading this Christmas treasure when I was a very young girl and I am so thrilled I am now able (after 35 years) to give it to my own kids this Christmas who will hopefully enjoy it as much as I did. Compared to some of the other books that are listed on Amazon, this version that I bought is absolutely in EXCELLENT condition. No rips, no tears, no missing parts, no markings. It is a brand new book and I am so thankful for the research I did on it. I want to thank Escape Fiction for the discount they also gave me on this book. They are excellent booksellers and should be recognized for that. THANK YOU!!5
