Mary Engelbreit's The Littlest Night Before Christmas: A Christmas Holiday Book for Kids

Description

Renowned artist Mary Engelbreit reimagines her New York Times bestselling Christmas classic with a brand-new picture book that features woodland animals in a magical wintery world. 'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house... not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.... That may be how the classic Christmas poem begins, but in Mary Engelbreit's latest reimagining of The Night Before Christmas, it's a family of mice that take center stage when a jolly intruder squeezes into their tiny abode and makes himself known. And though he looks like Santa-sack of toys, dressed in fur, telltale rosy cheeks-this isn't the old St. Nick readers might expect! In this snow-covered forest, a whole host of woodland animals embody the beloved characters of the famous fabled Christmas Eve.

Mary Engelbreit can rightly be called the Queen of Christmas! Her version of Clement C. Moore's The Night Before Christmas is a perennially strong seller with sales close to a one million since September '06. This New York Times bestselling author and head of Mary Engelbreit Studios-famous for its greeting cards, gifts, magazine, and other licenses-has fulfilled her childhood dream to become a children's book illustrator with such favorites as Mary Engelbreit's Mother Goose, Mary Engelbreit's Nursery Tales, and Mary Engelbreit's Fairy Tales. Mary Engelbreit lives and draws in St. Louis, MO. Visit her on the web at www.maryengelbreit.com.
