I got this for my autistic spectrum son, who is 14 and obsessed with Christmas and "Night Before Christmas" books. He has something of a collection of them. I randomly chose this book as I was searching on the Amazon site, and boy, am I glad I did! The book is just beautifully illustrated, which should be enough in and of itself...but BONUS! There's a DVD inside the front cover that is just adorable. There are options to watch the movie in it's entirety or read the story yourself with the words that come up along with pictures...my son really enjoys this option as well as watching the movie; complete with the Santa in the sleigh that flies up to the rooftop, and then continues on his way to the other homes. I'm almost afraid that it will wear out because he watches it so much. With all that you get, the beautiful book AND the DVD, this is a bargain and I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this book for anyone- young or old.

This is a beautiful printing of this poem, and the DVD is a nice little bonus! My only complaint is that there is a line missing from the poem: "The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth, and the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath."

The Grandchildren loved their books. They came very quickly and in excellent condition. We loved the video that came with the book as well. Thank you for your excellent service.
