3+: The Night Before Christmas - Clement C Moore and Eric Puybaret

Release Date: 03/09/11

BOOK BLURB:

The much-loved classic Christmas poem is brought beautifully to life in this gorgeous new picture book and CD set, sure to bring visions of sugarplums to everyone's head. With dreamy, magical artwork by Eric Puybaret and an audio CD recorded by Peter, Paul and Mary, this is the perfect Christmas present for any child.

REVIEW:

When you come up to Christmas there are two stories that make it to the readers pile as a special treat. One is the Charles Dicken’s Christmas Carol, the other is Clement C Moore’s Night Before Christmas which is the young readers title of choice.

This version is wonderfully illustrated with bright colours and quirky illustrations by Eric Puybaret and when you add the vocal talent of Mary Travers (from Peter, Paul and Mary fame) on an accompanying audio CD it’s a title that will be read time and again for quite some time and hopefully become a household Christmas favourite. I really am looking forward to reading this to my nephews when they go to my parents this year.

Our Reviewing System

Each title will in addition to having a review will be accompanied by a paw rating out of five. Obviously the more paws, the better the title.

Here's how it breaks down:

- This title is as good as it gets, a novel to set your standards by, you cannot afford to let this one slip by.

- Still a cracking novel, lots to be had from the tale and a great one to own.

- It's OK, its an acceptable tale but by no means is it going to set the world alight

- We're not huge fans, it might appeal to a select few but in our opinion has little to offer the genre or the reader.

- Leave this title well alone, we didn't like it in the slightest and felt that our reading time was completely wasted. Save your penny's for something better.
