A magical blend of vintage picture book art and animal characters that will be a beloved family read at Christmastime.

Not a creature was stirring - except for the epicly huge polar bear squeezing out of the fireplace with a sack of toys - in this wonderfully illustrated retelling of the classic Christmas story, The Night Before Christmas. Families and young readers will love the lavish watercolour illustrations of polar bear Santa, Pa Bunny in his cap, the reindeer sweeping across the sky, and of course the story regularly returns to the cozy home of the mouse, who sleeps through all the action.

‘This adaptation will serve well as a cozy wintertime read for animal lovers, and as a lovely option for anyone seeking a slight revision of the traditional.’ - Publishers Weekly, starred review
