'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the houseNot a creature was stirring, not even a mouse . . . It's Christmas Eve and the whole house is sleeping - all except one little boy, woken up by the jingle of bells and the clatter of reindeer hooves on the roof.

As he tiptoes downstairs, who will he find? Mark Marshall's captivating illustrations place a little boy at the heart of Clement C Moore's classic Christmas poem.

This bright and bold picture book is a perfect Christmas gift for young children - and a great way to introduce a new generation to this iconic poem.
