'Twas the Night Before Christmas




From the enormously popular illustrator of the Bear Snores On series comes a fresh and funny new edition of the treasured visit from St. Nicholas.

'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house not a creature was stirring, not even . . . a bear?

Only Jane Chapman could reimagine this classic poem with a delightful all animal cast. On the night of Christmas Eve, a family of bears settle down to sleep until Papa Bear is awakened by a racket outside. Polar bear Santa in a sleigh pulled by eight dog-deer bring festive commotion and joy to the classic holiday tale.
