Night Before Christmas, The

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house . . . Clement Clarke Moore's timeless poem about Christmas Eve is beautifully brought to life by illustrator Lisbeth Zwerger and her unique interpretation of Santa's fantastic midnight visit. The poem--originally titled, "A Visit from St. Nicholas"--is in large part responsible for the conception of the Santa Claus recognized today and is artistically rendered in this picture book full of holiday spirit.
