by Clement C. Moore, illustrated by Niroot Puttapipat.This gorgeous cut-paper edition of the celebrated Christmas poem evokes the snowy magic of the season through moonlit silhouettes, touched with red and green splashes of color. Each page reveals scenes that transform to reveal the elegant details and surprises of a festive family home.
