'Twas the Night Before Christmas

From the enormously popular illustrator of the Bear Snores On series comes a fresh and funny new edition of the treasured visit from St. Nicholas.

'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house not a creature was stirring, not eve . . . a bear?

Only Jane Chapman could reimagine this classic poem with a delightful all animal cast. On the night of Christmas Eve, a family of bears settle down to sleep until Papa Bear is awakened by a racket outside. Polar bear Santa in a sleigh pulled by eight dog-deer bring festive commotion and joy to the class holiday tale.

JANE CHAPMAN is the illustrator of over one hundred books for children including the Karma Wilson’s Bear Books series. She lives with her family in Dorset, England.
