This is a beautifully illustrated and unique take on the classic poem that is sure to put a smile on everyones face this Christmas! A word from the author: "I absolutely loved Clement C. Moore's poem as a child, but when I grew up and tried to read it to my own children, they did not share my enthusiasm. The book is truly a classic but also a little outdated, but one of my children's biggest gripes was the absence of Rudolph. Poor Clement...he wasn't to know. I felt sad that they couldn't share in my enjoyment of the original, especially as it is is the only story to name all the rendeer (well minus one), so I vowed to try and rewrite this story whilst breathing new life into it. Now tackling what it without a doubt the most famous poem in the English language was not a task that I undertook lightly, but it has been given the seal of approval from my little ones, and I truly belief I have created something original, sweet and funny, whilst maintaining the essence of the original. This year, more than most, we need a little festive cheer. So with that in mind, I hope you enjoy the book, and wish you all a Merry Christmas!"

In our village of Dikanka, no one noticed the theft. True, when the district scribe crawled out of the tavern on all fours he thought he saw the moon dancing in the sky, but who would believe him?"

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jessica Jeffries hates Christmas. With all the commercialism, stress and chaos, there are a lot of people who feel the same way. But Jessie has more reason than most for hating it. She’s been robbed, dumped, caught pneumonia, broken her leg, and this year she ran over Santa Claus with her truck.

Things go from bad to worse when Tom’s car breaks down on a freezing mountain road, but he gets a reprieve when a young woman who looks more like a Victoria’s Secret model than a tow truck driver comes to his rescue. Suddenly things are looking up—until she runs over an old man with an eerie resemblance to St. Nick.

Download or read book Who Wrote The Night Before Christmas written by MacDonald P. Jackson and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2016-04-27 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published anonymously in 1823, "The Night Before Christmas" has traditionally been attributed to Clement Clarke Moore (1779-1863), who included it in his Poems (1844). But descendants of Henry Livingston (1748-1828) claim that he read it to his children as his own creation long before Moore is alleged to have composed it. This book evaluates the opposing arguments and for the first time uses the author-attribution techniques of modern computational stylistics to settle the long-standing dispute. Both writers left substantial bodies of verse, which have been computer analyzed for distinguishing characteristics. Employing a range of tests and introducing a new one--statistical analysis of phonemes--this study identifies the true author and makes a significant contribution to the growing field of attribution studies.

Download or read book Christmas in Da Hood written by Martha Solomon and published by . This book was released on 2012-11-01 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a child, every year in New York at Christmastime, we'd watch "Twas the Night Before Christmas" on the television. My mother had a gift; she had the ability to take a single word and write whole stories and poems. One day I realized I had the same gift as my mother. I took the thoughts from my mind, put them on paper, and lo and behold, I wrote a children's book--not a story that falls too far from the tree of the original--one that deviates just enough to make you wonder what could happen if a mouse was found in the house at Christmas. Because I am from the city, I've lived among all kinds of pests, including mice. I imagined how whimsical it would be if a mouse showed up at Christmas. I also recalled one Christmas, as my mom and the 5 of us children were cleaning our 4 floor house in the city, the dogs got a hold of the turkey that was supposed to be our dinner that night. They pulled it to the floor and ate it all up. It was out of that memory that I chose to implement that storyline in the book and decided to add humor. After years of meditation, I finally wrote it out and thus, "Christmas in Da Hood" was born. This is a humorous children's story of how a family had to cope with a mouse and the excitement he brought to this household. I truly hope you enjoy this clever twist on the classic story.
