the Book Isn't New, But The Illustrations Are. Clement C. Moore's Classic Book Describing Santa's Night Visit Delivering Toys To Good Boys And Girls Is As Delightful Today As It Was When First Published In The 1800s. The Rhymes, Descriptive Words, The Reindeer With Endearing Names And Santa's Helpers Hurrying To Finish The Toys In Time For Delivery Still Delight Young Readers And Adults Alike. The Description Of Santa Will Linger In A Child's Mind As He Waits For Sleep. His Eyes, How They Twinkled! His Dimples, How Merry! His Cheeks Were Like Roses, His Nose Like A Cherry! His Droll Little Mouth Was Drawn Up Like A Bow, And The Beard Of His Chin Was As White As The Snow. It Is A Story That Never Grows Old, But Seems Quite New Through An Illustrator's Creative Rendition. Illustrator Watson Has Done A Wonderful Job Interpreting Moore's the Night Before Christmas. The Drawings Are Clear, Crisp And Life-like. The Colors Are Vivid And Sharp And Pleasing To The Eye. The Pictures Jump Out At The Reader; They Are So Full Of Action. And Santa's 21st Century Sleigh Is An Up-to-date Marvel That Not Only Delivers Toys, But At The Touch Of A Button Will Serve Up A Cup Of Hot Chocolate, Espresso And Milk For A Weary Santa Claus. The Elves In The Front And Back Of The Book Are Charming, Whimsical Visions Of Wonder. Lastly, The Book Cover Is A Close-up Rendering Of A Jolly, Red-cheeked, Bearded Santa Wearing Flying Goggles And Headgear. The Night Before Christmas Is A Lovely Tale, But Watson's Illustrations Are A Feast For The Eyes. Back Material Includes A Clever Q & A Two-pager Between St. Nick And Watson. Reviewer: Della A. Yannuzzi
