The Night Before Christmas

This 1949 Little Golden Book edition of Moore's famous poem was a staple in the Golden Book line for many years. Recently found in the Golden Books archives, Malvern's artwork for this title has been digitized and beautifully reproduced for today's kids.  'Twas the night before Christmas,  when all through the house  not a creature was stirring,  not even a mouse.  These familiar words have never before been illustrated with such style. Magnificent paintings by American artist Richard Jesse Watson infuse traditional images with pizzazz and flair. From cozy interiors to snowy landscapes, each scene is packed with the details of Christmas. Watch for the remarkable cast of elves who populate these pages. Best of all, see Santa Claus himself as you've never seen him before, complete with an exclusive interview.  Spilling over with all the joy and generosity of the season, here is an edition of Clement C. Moore's classic Christmas poem that is perfect for families of today. Ho! Ho! Ho!
