I love Becky Kelly's work. This redition of the famous poem is just darling! Just right for a hostess gift to a gal with children, or to a special 5-10 year old. Five stars!

This review is from: The Night Before Christmas (Hardcover)

"The Night Before Christmas" is a very well known book to say the least, however I believe that Becky Kelly's artistic flair and insight gives the book a special and endearing charm. All of her books have a "twinkle" in them, but this book is beautifully illustrated and also has a special envelope in the inside cover to make it more personal. This is a wonderful gift for a child at Christmas time and for the whole family to enjoy!
