Twas the Night Before Christmas
Book Review
I love this Christmas story. I have this story at home and I chose it at the library too but the pictures in this book are the best. I love the lights on Santa’s sleigh and I love Santa’s face on the page where it says “his nose like a cherry”. The writing on the front cover is silver and feels nice.
About the Book
P.J. Lynch brings his rich and atmospheric art to the well-loved Christmas verse.
From the stockings hung by the chimney to the bundle of toys flung over St Nicholas’s back, children will love to pore over the detailed images inside. A book to return to again and again.
Illustrator
