From the publisher: The much-loved poem by Clement Clarke Moore, originally released under the title 'A Visit from St. Nicholas' but better known as 'Twas the Night Before Christmas' is given a new slant in this Kiwi version. The weather is fine and hot and the family is staying at the bach for the Christmas holidays when a white-haired man in black singlet and shorts appears in the sky riding on a tractor drawn by six sheep. This is the ultimate read-aloud for Christmas in New Zealand Zealand festive season. This new edition includes a full-colour press-out model of the beach bach that children can make for themselves, and a music CD!
The CD was still on rotation when I went up for my late night check on the boys, which should go to show that it’s still a favourite after a few years and readings. In this case the publisher’s blurb is completely accurate and the words just trip along. It was in this story that little Brian’s parents first appeared.
