The Night Before Christmas

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Holly Hobbie. In Hobbie's treatment of the Christmas poem, a toddler and a father in striped pajamas look on as Saint Nick pays a visit to the family's comfortable home in the country. The watercolor, pen-and-ink, and gouache illustrations capture light wonderfully--the cool dimness of the snow-covered landscape, the stark moonlight, the warm glow of the Christmas tree.
