The Night Before Christmas

Front Cover
Tunnel Vision, 2007 - Juvenile Nonfiction - 16 pages
The quiet house of Clement Clarke Moore's Christmas poem comes to life in this expandable accordion book. The large front window of the unfolding 3-D house shows Santa arriving with a bulging sack of toys and gifts, while the attic window reveals the children "all snug in their beds." The vibrant, whimsical illustrations—full of charming details—put a modern twist on the classic verse. An accompanying 22-page illustrated booklet features the poem itself, along with punch-out figures that can be added to the tunnel scene.
