About The Night Before Christmas

"Not a creature was stirring" – excepting, of course,  the epic-ly huge polar bear squeezing out from the fireplace with a sack of toys – in this flawless and wonderfully illustrated re-telling of Clement C. Moore's classic Christmas story, The Night Before Christmas.

Families and young readers will love the lavish watercolor illustrations of the polar bear Santa, Pa Bunny in his cap, the reindeer sweeping across the sky, and of course the cosy home of a wee mouse and two baby kits, blissfully asleep through all the action.

They are talking about it...

“I must say that I am a fan of Chris Dunn's vintage illustrations, which bring a timeless touch to the story. The story itself has been reinterpreted to tie in with the story of Léa Lapin. The magic of Christmas is evident in every rhyme and every illustration!”
“Chris Dunn's exquisite illustrations, rich in detail, accompany a delicate and poetic text. Readers are immersed in a magical atmosphere. His watercolors gently capture the magic of winter. It is a delight to behold.”
"What a wonderful read on Christmas Eve! I can't wait to snuggle up with my daughter and read this story to her again. A classic of its kind to have in your library, to read and reread while snuggled up under the covers."
"What makes this album so fabulous are, above all, Chris Dunn's sumptuous illustrations. 😻 His drawings, both nostalgic and poetic, immerse readers in a vintage world reminiscent of fairy tales of yesteryear. Each page is a work of art in itself, where meticulous details and soft colors create a warm and comforting atmosphere. The cozy and magical ambiance evokes childhood memories, inviting readers to marvel at each scene."
"The story is written with beautiful poetry, the sentences rhyme and take us on a magical adventure, full of gentleness and enchantment. ✨ The narrative is simple, but so beautiful... As for the illustrations, they are absolutely magnificent! The lines are very vintage, creating a warm and timeless atmosphere that blends perfectly with the spirit of Christmas. 🎨❄️"
