The Night before Christmas

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Raquel Jaramillo. Employing both conventional and computer-enhanced photography, Jaramillo puts a new face on the classic poem. In her "snapshots," allegedly taken during St. Nick's visit to the Gordon family in 1901, a few of the people look a little self-conscious. However, the sepia-toned photos, with their ragged edges and cracked surfaces, have a mysterious, old-fashioned air that complements the text.
