The Night Before Christmas is Almost Here...

And here's a striking pop-up book to usher it in!
THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS: A MAGICAL CUT-PAPER EDITION 

This gorgeous cut-paper edition of Clement Moore's 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.



The final page reveals a spectacular pop-up, laser-cut finale. All the excitement and anticipation of Christmas Eve is captured by the art of Niroot Puttapipat.  



My grandsons love this book, and I'm excited to be giving them a companion Niroot Puttapipat book this year for Christmas: The Nutcracker.  (Trust me, it's gorgeous!  See it here.)


From my porch to yours...
Merry Christmas to all, 
and to all a good night!

    1. Thanks, Martha! We just got back from visiting my daughter and her family in NY. It was freezing there! In the high 70's here today! Stay warm!
