Since it ?rst appeared in 1823 as “A Visit from St.

Nicholas,” The Night Before Christmas has been a classic holiday story, read and enjoyed by children and adults during the holiday season.

Stockings are hung on the mantle, sugar plums dance through childrens’ dreams, reindeer clamor on the rooftops, and “you know in a moment it must be Saint Nick!” This bright and vividly illustrated edition of Moore’s timeless poem is a must-have for any family during the holiday season, whether it is placed under the tree for Christmas Eve or given as a pre-holiday treat.

Ages: 4-8.
