Thanks to this special story, children across the globe go to sleep every Christmas Eve dreaming magical, wonderous dreams that only kids can dream! Save this book for a special, single reading that takes place just once a year - on the night before Christmas. It will become a holiday memory your little elves will cherish for life!

Professor of Biblical Learning, Clement C. Moore wrote the timeless story of The Night Before Christmas, which has become a classic for generations throughout the world.

If your family celebrates Christmas, this book belongs in your household!

I'm glad on the one hand that the Golden Press people decided to make this classic Christmas poem into one of their Little Golden Books, but on the other hand, I think they could have found a better illustration to put with it. I don't care for this style of artwork and wish I had looked through more illustrations before buying it. It definitely isn't up to par with other Little Golden Books that I own and have read.

This book brings a wonderful classic into our daughter's life. I had read other reviews where there were complaints about Santa smoking. This book is based on the original poem by Clement C. Moore. Yes, there is a part that talks about Santa's pipe smoke encircling his head like a wreath, but to take that out would be to edit the original art. My daughter didn't even think twice about it, and we read it every night. If she had said something, I would have taken it as an opportunity to reinforce what I tell her everytime we see someone smoking in real life. All in all, a great opportunity to introduce a classic into a child's life!

Not for a two year old.
It's a rather cheaply made book. It's right for the price though.
It is the classic story I remember and I will buy a nicer book when my child is old enough to enjoy the rhyming words.
If you are looking for this story for your kids, invest in a more expensive, better illustrated book!

How do you write a review on a book that has stood
the test of time.You can't,but what you can do is let
everyone know what a wonderful and delightful story this
is,and everyone should own a copy.
The golden book The night before Christmas is a perfect size
for little ones.It's a book they will ask you to read to them
over and over through out the entire year.

Kids love hearing this story over and over during the Christmas season. A must have for anyone who celebrates Christmas!

Purchased this book for a grandchild to be born soon. We had bought many many Little Golden Books when our kids were small. What a disappointment... The cover was cut smaller than the pages! We coordinated a return and received another copy without delay - same cover-cut-smaller issue. Not happy with this at all. What happened with LGB?

I bought this for my 3 year old for a Christmas Eve gift. She's been requesting it each night since she opened it. It is the original text with cute retro/cut-out type illustrations. Very sweet book for ages 2-4.

I can't wait to read the Night Before Christmas to my wee grandchildren and introduce this delightful poem to a new generation. I had this very Little Golden Book as a child and am so glad it is still availble.
