Book Description

4 and upP and up
Running Press is proud to be the publisher of the best-selling edition among all the available versions of Clement C. Moore’s classic Christmas Eve poem. With appearances at the top of the New York Times bestseller list over the past ten years, illustrator Christian Birmingham’s stunning interpretation of this holiday favorite has been clearly embraced by the market. Now, for the second year in row, we are thrilled to have Birmingham’s gorgeous illustrations available in a board book edition. These two unbelievably priced treasures have become as much a tradition for booksellers as the classic tale itself.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Clement C. Moore's classic poem The Night Before Christmas is undeniably the most widely recognized Christmas ditty of all time. Moore's words evoke images of warm, fuzzy Christmases, long before the invention of TV and microwave turkey. From the brush of artist Christian Birmingham comes this beautifully illustrated edition of the poem, bound in sturdy hardback. This book will delight for years to come. --Naomi Gesinger --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

About the Author

Christian Birmingham—often called “Christmas” Birmingham —is famous for his holiday titles, including A Christmas Carol and A Christmas Treasury.

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful reissue of a timeless holiday classic, October 4, 2005
This review is from: The Night Before Christmas: The Anniversary Edition (Hardcover)
The Night Before Christmas: The Anniversary Edition is a large-sized picturebook featuring the classic Christmas poem by Clement C. Moore and warm, colorful, museum quality illustrations by Christian Birmingham . The typeface is so big that it is quite easy to read along with young ones, and the twinkling gleam in Santa's eyes is perfectly captures in the impressively memorable artwork. A beautiful reissue of a timeless holiday classic, The Night Before Christmas is an ideal family gift for the holiday season and would make a popular edition for community library holiday picturebook collections.
