Not the best choice for you kids,
This review is from: 'Twas the Night Before Christmas (Hardcover)
I think this book is neat, because it is the original. However my son was bored with the stark pages, and small faded images. He would have liked one of the more vibrantly illustrated versions of this story. So if you have young kids, pass this one up for something else.
4.0 out of 5 stars
