Christmas 2015 December 2016 - Ben appreciates this much more this year, asking lots of questions (some of the illustrations confused him).
Beautiful rendition of this timeless classic.
The classic we all know with nostalgic illustrations so indicative of their era.
This is the ideal Christmas Eve read! I love Clement C. Moore's classic Christmas poem and Duvoisin's illustrations are perfect. The primary colours work well and the pages with red white and black are even better. This tall size format means the page size is ideal for looking down chimneys and scenes of reindeers landing on rooftops. I enjoyed the foreword and was surprised to learn that this poem was originally written in 1822! Great things are timeless! I would highly recommend this to anyone...
Obviously, THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS is already a classic, but readers young and old will be delighted by this newly packaged version. With beautiful illustrations by Caldecott alum Roger Duvoisin this new edition will make a wonderful holiday gift that is will easily become a family favorite. I adored this adaption, with its focus on the Santa's magical trips up and down the chimney, an element that's allowed in part by the uniquely tall shape of this edition. Recommended!
Classic!
I really like to recite the Clement Moore Twas the Night Before Christmas poem and this book version is my favorite. It is a reissue of the 1954 book illustrated by the great Roger Duvoisin. The atmosphere in his illustrations really jives with the poem. I was so excited to see it come across my desk and can't wait to read it aloud in December! I would love to see the GYO FUJIKAWA version.
The Night Before Christmas, illustrated by Roger Duvoisin. This version was originally published in 1954 and it has that classic bold 50's CMYK illustrations. The style is really flat, but very dynamic on each page. This version is also a lot taller and thinner than most other versions, which really contributes to the energetic quality of the illustrations. Definitely a version I would recommend.
This book is always our family favorite especially the night before Christmas. It was nice to round out our Christmas reading books with this take on the favorite story. The illustrations by Roger Duvoisin are amazing in this book. They are so colorful and really help tell the story. I also love how this book is slim so that it could fit inside a stocking. This book is amazing and I can't wait to read it again with my kids next Christmas Eve.
