Robert Sabuda is a phenomenal artist. His pop-up books are amazing, and this is no exception. Accompanying Moore's poem are 6 two-page spread pop-ups and 5 smaller. They are beautiful and creative, and will bring smiles to young and old.
If you or someone you know enjoys paper engineering, you can't go wrong with this beautiful book.

Clement Clarke Moore Birth:
Clement Clarke Moore was born on July 15, 1779 in New York, New York. His father was Benjamin Moore, Episcopal Bishop of New York, Rector of Trinity Church, and President of Columbia College. His mother was Charity Clark. He was the only child, and his early education was conducted at home. He graduated from Columbia in 1798. Clement Clarke Moore Death:
Clement Clark Moore died on July 10, 1863, in Newport, Rhode Island, at his summmer home. He was buried in Trinity Cemetary, at the Church of the Intercession, in New York, New York. Clement Clarke Moore Marriage:
Clement Clarke Moore married Catharine Elizabeth Taylor (19) in 1813. He was 34 at the time of his marriage. According to tradition and legend, Moore wrote "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" (also named "A Visit from St. Nicholas") in 1822 for his children on Christmas Eve, though his name wasn't linked with the poem until 1834.
Catharine died in 1830. Clement Clarke Moore Achievements:
Although Clement Clark Moore is usually well-known for his Christmas classic, "'Twas the Night Before Christmas," he wrote many other works, including a political pamphlet, a textbook, poetry, and more. Clement Clarke Moore Lines from "A Visit From St. Nicholas":
"'Twas the night before Christman, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring,--not even a mouse: The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there."
"He had a broad face and a little round belly, That shook, when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly." (1779-1863) American writer. Clement Clarke Moore is perhaps most famous for "A Visit from St. Nicholas," which is also called "'Twas the Night Before Christmas."

"The Night Before Christmas," is Mr. Sabuda's pop-up version of Clement Clarke Moore's classic tale of Santa's visit on Christmas Eve. The phrasing has been altered; still the story is the same, except mice play the human roles. It is a delightful rendition that will appeal to both the young and old alike.

In this treasure of a pop-up book ,Robert Sabuda brings Clement Clarke Moore's timeless tale "The Night Before Christmas" to life.
This is a book to be shared by young, and young at heart, alike.
Gather everyone around,lay the book on a table and turn the opening page.A clock pops up,a minute hand rotates towards midnight,and a mouse,who by the way,is not even supposed to be stirring,peeks around the corner.Then,open the flap on the right page,and Behold! we see 3 childern ,each snuggled in their beds,while visions of "sugarplums" spin around each childs head on rotating discs. Now that you've let all that sink in;turn the next page.Now we get Mama in her bed,whilst I jump up to look out the window.Watch the shade actually rise. Now, open the right hand flap,and we see Santa on his sleigh,flying over the clouds,and notice all 8 reindeer actually move and shake in their excitement. With the next turn of the page,8 big reindeer virtually jump right up off the page heading right for you. See Santa in his sleigh ,pulling on the silver reins that are connected to each and all of his team. Without turning the page,an opening of the right flap,gives us a great view of Santa,going down the chimney,all in realistic ,3-Dimension.On the next page ,Santa appears at the Christmas tree, with his a bundle of toys on his back.A flip of the flap produces Santa again as his beard,mustache,face and cap all pop-up as he holds his silver pipe in his mouth.Another turn of the page and we are greeted by a huge,double-page,double height Santa ,holding gifts in each hand.So, Santa has come;open the right flap and we see Santa coming out of the top of the chimney,while his feet are disappearing up the flue.,and note that the stockings have all been filled.
With all that done,and a final turn of the page;a fantastic,double-page,all white, winter scene appears before our eyes.A village of 7 pop-up structures,and a back drop of trees and clouds.
Then comes the grand finale.With the pull of a tab,Santa and his reindeer fly off through a snowflake filled sky.
What a beautiful heirloom this book is,and to be enyoyed every year.
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!"

This one of the many pop-up books Robert has out right now. I'd get Alice in Wonderland and/or The Wizard of Oz for your bookshelf. These are really great books to own. The Night Before Christmas is just not as "cool" as the other two books I mentioned above.

Robert Sabuda is a gifted, gifted man. These pop-ups (and the others he's done) are astonishing. My first-grade class literally gasped, oohed and aahed as I turned each new page. They ask me to read the pop-up books at least once a week. And, I read them myself even after the kids have gone home for the day. What a treasure these books are!

This book is a master peice of art and wonder. I play Santa Claus for enjoyment and the response I received this year was unbeivable from young to old. Each page would come to life before the audience I would read too. The breath taking response was overwheling to me. This book is in a catagory of it's own! The joy of those who encountered this book every time I would read it, made it worth while EVERY time. If you buy it, you will NOT be disapointed.
