	The Night Before Christmas
	by Clement C. Moore and Mary Engelbreit Sales Rank: 16847	List Price: ~~$17.99~~ $12.23 At Amazon on 12-5-2008

Reading level: Ages 4-8 Hardcover: 32 pages Publisher: HarperCollins September 21, 2004 Language: English ISBN-10: 0060081600 ISBN-13: 978-0060081607 Product Dimensions: 11.4 x 11.1 x 0.5 inches Shipping Weight: 1.2 pounds *From Publishers Weekly* Engelbreit's visions of sugarplums translate to a busy-bright patchwork of checks, plaids, paisleys and chintzes in this oversize (11" x 11") volume. Her interpretation of Moore's poem features a cast of rambunctious elves who accompany an exceptionally jolly St. Nick as he leaves assorted old-fashioned candies and toys inside a home decorated in a spectrum of Engelbreit's trademark patterns and prints. Kids-and adult fans of the artist-will enjoy poring over the copious details. All ages. Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc. *From School Library Journal* Kindergarten-Grade 2-The full text of the familiar poem is illustrated in Engelbreit's crisply decorated style. A large trim size allows each highly embellished spread to hold a plethora of detail. From the opening stanza's view of the non-stirring mouse's hole (a cracked teacup is his bed, a potholder his doormat, and a paintbrush is his broom) and throughout the verses, the artist adds lots of elves and ornamentation. Santa is not pictured as "dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot"; he's wearing a checked coat with fur trim and what appear to be leather bowling shoes. He does twinkle a lot, though, and that may be enough for some readers.-S. P. Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc.
