The Night Before Christmas (Illustrated by Jan Brett)

Jan Brett's version of this beloved Christmas poem has been enchanting families since 1998, and it's easy to see why it keeps finding its way under trees year after year. While you're following Santa's journey through the house on Christmas Eve, there's a delightful side story happening in the borders of each page where two mischievous elves have snuck away from the North Pole and are causing all sorts of trouble.

It has detailed illustrations that give you so much to discover with each reading, making this a great read for toddlers just learning the rhythm of the story and older children who love hunting for details they missed the first dozen times through. It's one of those picture books that works beautifully whether you're reading it aloud to a squirmy three-year-old or letting a new reader practice on Christmas Eve.
