Good... but TINY!!,
By
This review is from: The Night Before Christmas: The Miniature Classic Edition (Miniature Editions) (Hardcover)
The book is the classic poem, and the illustrations are nice (many are sketches, but with a few full-color pictures of Jolly Old St. Nick.) My biggest concern was when I opened the box... all I saw at first was a big piece of crumpled packing paper... and when I removed that... there was this LITTLE TINY book in the box! It was my own fault for not reading every detail on this page, I guess, but this was to be the classic to read our kids every Christmas Eve, and it's a nice quality, just hard for the kids to see! Just be aware before you purchase... Product Dimensions: 3.3 x 2.8 x 0.6 inches.

Too Small to Read,
This review is from: The Night Before Christmas: The Miniature Classic Edition (Miniature Editions) (Hardcover)

The Night Before Christmas: The Classic Edition,
This review is from: The Night Before Christmas: The Miniature Classic Edition (Miniature Editions) (Hardcover)
I was so disappointed with this tiny book! I thought it was left out of my order because it was so small I didn't see it at first. I want to read this to my children on Christmas Eve, but it is so small that it will be difficult for them to see the pictures. I wish the book description would have described it as a very small version of the classic book
