5.0 out of 5 stars The book is well written & fun to read for young & old alike, November 18, 1999

This review is from: Sailor's Night Before Christmas (The Night Before Christmas Series) (Hardcover)

I bought this book because my family loves the water and boating. The book is well written and fun for all ages. It's a delightful "tall tale" of Christmas on board as told by the salty first mate. I highly recommend "Sailors Night Before Chirstmas" to anyone, young or just young at heart who ever wondered, just how does Santa get to people on boats. Reading this Christmas story just might become one of our family's holiday traditions.

This book was written with belly laughs in mind for the Christmas season. The zany illustrations fit perfectly with the great writing. Kids of all ages will be happy to find this book in their stocking!
