 Twas The Night Before Christmas January 8, 2009
NaneeCC (Ormond Beach, FL United States)
My daughter has read this every year to her almost-12 yr old and has started reading it to the little almost-3 yr old. The older one remembers each year getting the cookies and milk ready for Santa, and, the carrots for the reindeer after the reading. He now helps his brother gather the goodies. It has been a wonderful tradition!
 Great Classic Book, just very small January 7, 2008
R. Harden (Georgia)
Ordered this book to read to my son and wanted it to be a classic, old looking book but thought it would be bigger - it is tiny! I would have preferred it be bigger, never thought to look at the measurements since it was a children's book, just assumed it would be good size.

This a very nice book with the Night Before Christmas story in it. I wouldnt call it 'overly small'. Its perfect size and has beautiful illustration and story in it. Nice small gift.

I have this book at my home, where I have read it many times for my own children growing up. When I ordered this as a gift for my employer's new baby, I was shocked to see how small this book is when it arrived.
This is the size of a pocket book, and does not lend well to sitting a child on your lap and allowing them to read along. The illustrations however beautiful, are too small for young children, and even some adults reading this book!
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!" November 10, 2005

The particular charm of this much-loved Christmas poem is found in the illustrations, late nineteenth and early twentieth century full-color plates from a collection of antique picture books. The original text is familiar, beautifully balanced by page after page of images that evoke another era, when life was simple and children fell asleep on Christmas Eve with visions of sugar plums dancing in their heads, slumbering boys and girls protected by a hovering trio of angels, "mama in her kerchief and I in my cap", Santa whipping his reindeers through the snowy night sky and a brightly decorated tree surrounded by toys and packages to delight the children on Christmas morning. Over the years, this popular holiday poem of Jolly Old Saint Nick has been printed in many forms, editions of every size for every age; this 2005 Chronicle edition is perfect as a small gift for a favorite child or as a stocking stuffer, easy for small hands to hold, the illustrations as enchanting as the poem. Luan Gaines/ 2005.
