Description:
A letter from
Santa Claus: In this special twenty-first-century edition, select lines
have quietly slipped from the pages. Here at the North Pole, we decided
to leave all of that tired old business of smoking well behind us a long
time ago. The reindeer also asked that I confirm that I have only ever
worn faux fur out of respect for the endangered species that are in need
of our protection. This includes my dear friends the arctic polar
bears. Publishers note: It was our sincere pleasure to act on Santa’s
express wishes. As the direct link between the exposure to the depiction
of characters smoking and youth initiation to nicotine has been well
established, we were compelled to make these recommended changes. This
influential poem has been at the very center of holiday reading for
close to two hundred years, and our wish is that it will remain vivid
and treasured for many generations to come.
Clement C. Moore
(1779–1863) is widely regarded as the very poet of Christmas Eve. Much
of the way we have come to celebrate December 24th is based on his
portrayal of a jolly Santa, who along with his team of reindeer brings
happiness to children and joy to the world. Twas the Night Before
Christmas was originally published in the New York Troy Sentinel
newspaper in 1823. It has become the most famous poem in the English
language. In 2011, various editions of this enchanting poem spent
thirty-six weeks on the New York Times best-seller’s list in the
children’s category.
My Thoughts:
This is such a great retelling of the story including beautiful pages. The story is the same story many have heard time after time but I think all young kids would enjoy reading this book or having it read to them with the artwork in this book is amazing. I really enjoyed it!
