The Night Before Christmas

by Clement Clarke Moore

Book Overview

'Twas the night before Christmas,
when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring,
not even a mouse...

And so begins the treasured poem by Clement Moore and though the words are quite familiar, the art takes a fresh and modern approach to the family and setting.

Customer Reviews

Not good condition

Listed as good condition but the first 3 pages had a third of the page ripped off and missing at the bottom. Would not have even purchased for 25 cents st a yard sale had I seen the torn off pages.

Perfect

The book was in perfect condition.

Not What Was Advertised

Extremely disappointed as the book that was sent to me was NOT what was advertised. I was looking for a specific book from my childhood to pass down to my children and I was SO excited when I found it on Thirfty Book only to be duped.

Boardbook

I didn't realize I was ordering a boardroom but the whole poem is in it with color illustrations which are okay. The book is in decent condition after I cleaned it & polished it & neighborhood kid will like it. If u have a small child they'd enjoyed having this read to them & then looking at it themselves. As far the poem it is a classic that kids&adults have loved for years & years.

Wrong Book

Purchased 'the night before christmas' board book for the specific edition that was advertised. Book that arrived is not the same as advertised and has completely different illustrations. Very disappointed.

Christmas Disappointment

The cover was ripped and I was really wanting to give this book as a gift. Otherwise, there is no writing or coloring inside. The story is a classic for all ages.

Waste of $$

Came in poor quality and had writing on the inside even though it had said it was like new.

I ordered two Night before Christmas, only received one

I didn’t want to write this in a review but I don’t know how else to reach suppliers. I ordered two books and only received one. I’d like refund or please mail other book.

Classic prose, fresh artwork

I wanted the classic W. Clement Moore prose with 19th Century-style illustrations for my nephew, and got what I wanted. "Mamma," "Pa," Santa and the others are in classic visual style as drawn by contemporary artist John Steven Gurney in this 1989 paperback Scholastic version, but the words have not been altered. A winner all around! From the book: "He had a broad face and a round little belly, That shook when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly. He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf, And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself . . ."

Classic!

Great copy of a classic story!

Condition matches description

I received this book for $0.99! It’s a fabulous find for the price. The cover is a bit worn, but everything else is great!
