The Night Before Christmas

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Jan Brett. The classic Christmas poem is illustrated with Brett's characteristically detailed paintings, which feature scenes of the adventures of two stowaway elves on Santa's sleigh. Many of the familiar events of the narrative are illustrated along the borders, and it is jarring for the text to have so little in common with some of the large, main pictures.
