The Night Before Christmas, Deep Under the Sea

32 pp. | Holiday | October, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8234-2336-1 $16.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Dan Andreasen. Told by a jovial red lobster, this retelling takes place in the deep ocean where Santa is a walrus in a conch shell sleigh pulled by eight tiny seahorses. Andreasen's oil-paint and digital art is cheery but cutesy. The undersea setting is a tad gratuitous, though some children may find the aquatic re-imagining entertaining.
