Note: I accessed a digital review copy of this book through Edelweiss. ( )

This is an excellent version of The Night Before Christmas poem that describes the true meaning of Christmas, the birth of Jesus, ( )

The story of Jesus' birth is told in the style of Clement C. Moore's "Twas the Night Before Christmas." For families who want to keep the focus on the true origin of Christmas, this has the potential to become a cherished new reading tradition. The mood of this telling and the illustrations are as gentle as a silent night.
