Christmas Eve at my house is not complete without the traditional reading of Clement C. Moore's classic poem. Though we've cherished many versions of the story over the years, I've never seen one as elegant as this. Niroot Puttapipat's intricate silhouettes--in mostly black, with some red, green, and gold--peep out of delicately die-cut windows and doors, lavishly enhancing the familiar narrative. The final pages feature a beautiful pop-up scene that will linger in the minds of yuletide revelers long after they're "nestled all snug in their beds." For ages 4 to 8.
