![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The house is super cosy, and we won't dwell on the fact that a fire is still burning in the hearth while the family sleep upstairs. It's another world where everything is in hypercolour, from the buildings to the bedspreads. This book takes the already sweet story and showers it with incredible illustrations that would melt even Scrooge's heart. You know how it goes: Santa and the reindeer arrive at a house on Christmas Eve and try to go about their business with the occupants unaware, but one little boy wakes up and can't help but notice their presence (and their presents). Inside, the story jumps straight in: 'T'was the night before Christmas when all through the house… Santa is looking happy but serious (glasses on, he's clearly paying attention to the driving) and the reindeer are racing ahead, evidently keen to get on their way. ![]() And it's bumpy to touch which is always fun. If you don't already own a version, this new release is a must buy for the presentation alone. Perfect.Įveryone knows the classic story of the night before Christmas, but as a child I never had it in a standalone book like this and, it seems, I never knew there was quite as much to the tale. Summary: The classic story retold with beautiful full colour illustrations. ![]()
