Overview

Scenes from Clement Moore's 'Twas the Night Before Christmas inspire twelve elegant and fascinating compositions where readers search for dozens of intriguing hidden objects.

The first photograph, "The Night Before Christmas," features a gingerbread house, Christmas cookies, candles, bulbs, and more. "Visions of Sugarplums" is an abstract composition of Christmas confections; and "Such a Clatter!" is a dynamic explosion of objects. In "It Must Be Saint Nick," Santa is shown in shadow; and in "A Bundle of Toys," the presents in Santa's sack are revealed as a magnificent jumble. The final photograph, "Happy Christmas to All" is a beautiful, pastoral landscape, lustrous under new-fallen snow.

The original poem is printed on the endpapers.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
A trio of holiday books helps readers get in the spirit (see Children's Reviews, Sept. 26 for more titles). Walter Wick applies his considerable photographic and choreographic talents to the Yuletide-themed addition to his paper-over-board Can You See What I See? series, The Night Before Christmas. Endpapers reprint Moore's famous poem, which kicks off photographic puzzles called "Visions of Sugarplums," featuring a dazzling shower of gingerbread cookies, gumdrops, candy canes and more, and "A Bundle of Toys" that will have alert young eyes scouring Santa's sack for goodies. Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
Children's Literature
Taking inspiration from the classic poem by Clement C. Moore, Wick— photographer of the "I Spy" books—has created scenes in which the reader is given a list of items to find. The title of the list for each spread is a phrase taken from Moore's poem. Much creativity has gone into the composition of each scene. In "New Fallen Snow" the objects are displayed on a white quilt with a Christmas snow globe in the center. The page of "visions of sugarplums" has gingerbread men and women and other cutout cookies, candy canes, ribbon candy and assorted sweets that appear to be floating in air. There is a rhythm and some rhyming to the list of items. Some objects are easy to find, others more difficult. The photographs of the toys and Christmas decorations are clear and eye-catching. Astute viewers might even find a toy just like one of their own. Fans of the "I Spy" books will be happy to spend Christmas afternoon with this book. 2005, Scholastic, Ages 4 to 9.

Kirkus Reviews
The co-creator of the "I Spy" series uses a similar format in this holiday offering full of glowing photographs of tiny toys and sweet treats. As in previous volumes, readers can search each spread for the miniature items craftily hidden within, enumerated in rhyming lists in large type next to each photograph. Wick uses phrases from the familiar lines of "A Visit from Saint Nicholas" as an organizational framework for his lush photos of a cozy house on Christmas Eve all decked out for Santa's arrival. (He includes the poem on the endpapers.) Some spreads focus on one area of the house and others on single images from the poem, such as a whirlwind of sugarplums or an open bundle of toys. Eagle-eyed readers will spot additional clever details such as a recurring white dove and the gabled house in a snow globe that duplicates the home featured throughout. This volume covers much of the same holiday territory as I Spy Christmas by Marzollo and Wick (1992), but fans of this sort of picture puzzle will welcome another challenging Christmas brainteaser. (author's note) (Picture book. 3-7)

    Lots to see

    My child (aged 3-4) loves spending time with me hunting through the pages of these books. The imagery is beautifully put together to draw you into Seymour's world.

    Never Disappoints

    I have been buying these books since my children were young and they are still loved. I have several different 'Christmas' titles and they are part of the decorations we put out each year. When my large families come, we often see several groups reading and searching the books. This is a series that appeals to all ages.

    family favorite and fantastic gift

    Our daughter (5) loves the Can You See What I See series, and this is a huge favorite at the holidays. It is great for girls and boys, and make s a wonderful gift for 4-6 year olds. The pictures are lovely, colorful and challanging enough to make some parents work to find the objects. It is fun and festive!

    great book for the family

    I love this book and it has been so much fun for my 5yr and 6yr old to look at it with me. The books keep us wanting more. This helps their eyesight and reading to see what we have to find. I have ordered more of these books because we have so much FUN together.

    Great entertainment for all ages

    Extremely entertaining series of search and find books. With realism pictures and challenging riddles. I have been doing the whole series with co-workers at work on lunch break. We search through them as parties of two or as a group. We sometimes compete to get through our own book so we can start the next book first. When we are finished with a book I am asked' When are you going to get a new book". Other people walk by and ask "Whats with the kids books"?, but we cant stop! Then before they know it they are lured in and searching for stuff also!
