The Night Before Christmas: A Visit from St. Nicholas

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Max Grover. As colorful as a box of crayons, Grover's illustrations set Moore's classic Christmas poem in a working class neighborhood. The staid Santa in the pictures doesn't match the "right jolly old elf" of the poem, but the bold, eye-catching palette and chunky, toy-like people and objects will draw readers in.
