The Night Before Christmas (Gift Edition)

The Night Before Christmas was first published anonymously in a New York newspaper in December 1823, and over the years, reading it aloud on Christmas Eve has become a tradition for many families.

We like this edition for Tomie dePaola’s illustrations, which have the same warmth you might remember from Strega Nona or The Legend of the Poinsettia. His rosy-cheeked St. Nicholas and the toys peeking out of the stockings give children plenty to notice as you read together. With its soft cloth spine and gold foil accents, it makes a lovely gift for a family starting that tradition of their own.
