Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
In this prepossessing volume, a series of paintings completed by Grandma Moses in 1960 accompanies Moore's classic holiday poem. Rustic touches such as a spinning wheel , carved baby cradle and wood-burning stove bring warmth to Moses's otherwise cool winter palette. The snow-covered countryside and frosted evergreens provide the perfect hushed setting for Santa's spirited visit. A rendering of the children sleeping snuggled beneath a patchwork quilt is particularly engaging. Moore's writing--originally a Christmas gift for his children in 1882--still deserves to be celebrated with the entire family. Though illustrated versions of the poem abound, Moses's folk art has a refreshing down-home appeal. All ages.

This review is from: The Grandma Moses Night Before Christmas Poem (Hardcover)
This book is more than another rendition of the familiar Clement Moore poem, because this one is illustrated by the celebrated American primative artist Grandma Moses. Her series of illustrations were painted in 1960 but not compiled until 1991. The book's endpapers are decorated with a painting she did in 1946 called "Out for Christmas Trees."
