THE NIGHT BEFORE THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS

Mike Lester Natasha Wing

It's December 23, and Christmas is just around the corner. But one family is having trouble getting its act together. Once again, Natasha Wing follows the rhythms and meter of Clement Moore's classic Christmas poem, yet gives it her own entirely original twist.
From the Author:
"This story combines all the crazy things that families go through to get ready for Christmas. I just hope they never happen to you! But it's fun to laugh at the silliness that holiday stress puts us through. So have a good laugh. And share this book with a friend."

Kindergarten-Grade 3-In this contemporary send-up of Clement C. Moore's poem, a family overwhelmed by holiday preparations comes to realize that "Christmas is about love./And we have quite enough." Energetic, exaggerated cartoon illustrations accompany the lengthy, unevenly rhymed text, which scans awkwardly and does not easily lend itself to sharing aloud. Readers searching for the true meaning of Christmas will want to look elsewhere.
