The Night Before Christmas is a children’s picture book
by Rose Collins. This colorful and enchanting book is a retelling
of the classic Christmas story by Clement Clarke Moore, ‘Twas
The Night Before Christmas, but with an awesome twist.
In this picture book, St. Nick visits the
welcoming house of a family of four cuddly bears. While the cute little cubs
are warmly tucked in bed, Papa Bear hears a sound and rushes outside to see a
beautiful red sleigh pulled by eight flying reindeer and driven by lively and
chubby St. Nick.
While remaining faithful to the Christmas
classic, Ms. Collins altered a few words in the original story, probably to
make her version more understandable to the younger generation. This book, with
its vivid and colorful pictures, brings out the spirit of Christmas in every
single page. The pictures are so alive that the reader can almost feel the
warmth emanating from the fireplace and can touch the snow resting on the
evergreens. Even the font used for the story has an embossed look making the
words appear as if they are floating on each page.
Needless to say, this is one beautiful and
charming Christmas book, perfect for children and grown-ups alike.
Congratulations to Rose Collins for such
an amazing book.
