Clement C. Moore's The Night Before Christmas

The perfect picture book to capture children's imagination as they wait for Father Christmas to arrive...

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.

It's Christmas Eve and, as Father Christmas takes to the skies, all the children of the city are tucked up fast asleep. Or are they...? The sound of sleigh bells and reindeer hooves wake one little boy, who creeps down the stairs to find a very special visitor in his lounge.

Discover the magic of Christmas Eve in this modern version of Clement C. Moore's classic Christmas poem.

Reviews

Carle's books all have an educational element – they teach about animals, numbers, colours and nature – but a big part of their appeal is that they are not didactic or laboured, but light and entertaining. There's warmth and humour there too

—— Junior

Carle's richly hued, collage-like art and gentle text will be comfortingly familiar to his numerous young devotees

—— Publishers Weekly

Eric Carle . . . has an unfailing magic. His gentle, glowing collages are satisfying for parent and child

—— The Times

A touching book

—— Alison Walsh , Independent on Sunday

Beautifully illustrated by Carl Pearce, with a resonating message that will encourage children to want to ask questions

—— Bournemouth Daily Echo
