The Night Before Christmas: The Night Before Christmas
Autor Clement C. Moore Ilustrat de Lesley Smithen Limba Engleză Hardback – 11 oct 2017
With warm colors and cozy art, award-winning artist Tomie dePaola brings the beloved holiday poem to life. Detailed decorations and family portraits hang on the walls of a turn of the 19th century New England home as the family sleeps, snuggled into cozy geometric quilts-until the clatter of little hooves on the roof wakes them.
Rosy-cheeked St. Nicholas appears, filling the stockings with dolls and blocks, toy animals and candy canes, before taking off over the snow-capped hills in his sleigh. Framed by borders inspired by traditional New England quilts, the warm illustrations are full of cheerful details kids will love to pore over.
Called "a shareable Christmas treasure" in a Booklist starred review, The Night Before Christmas was Tomie dePaola's 100th book when it was originally published. A family favorite for more than thirty years, this beautiful rendition of a Christmas favorite is still a perfect read-aloud for snowy nights-and now, a perfect board book stocking stuffer, in just the right size for young readers to enjoy.

Notă biografică
Clement C. Moore was born in in New York City in 1779. During his lifetime, he wrote in a variety of forms, including biography, translation, fiction, and poetry. He is perhaps most famous for his poem, "A Visit from St. Nicholas," which was first published anonymously in 1823, and later became known as "The Night Before Christmas." The first few lines of this poem are some of the best-known verses of American literature and Moore's descriptions of Santa Claus have contributed significantly to our conception of him. Moore died in 1863, but his legacy will live on forever.
