Scholastic Tales for Tots presents The Night Before Christmas

Still to this day, The Night Before Christmas is one of my very favorite stories to hear at Christmas time. Although I love to read, it just seems so much more enjoyable listening to someone read this story. Today Mrs. Jillian read this book for all of us to enjoy.

This mousey version of The Night Before Christmas was written by Clement C. Moore and illustrated by Barbara Reid. This classic poem is brought to life by Barbara Reid's signature Plasticine illustrations, full of humour and astonishing detail, making this a Christmas treasure to read year after year.

When our story was finished, we raffled off a copy of this special book. Here is a picture of our lucky winner with her new book!

We also made a Santa Claus craft to go along with our story and our "Here Comes Santa Claus" theme this month. We used construction paper for Santa's hat and face, a cotton ball for the ball on Santa's hat and packing peanuts for his beard!

Our crafts were great. They looked just like Santa Claus! Then it was off to find some books in the Book Outlet. They have a large selection of books for all ages.
