Renowned artist Mary Engelbreit reimagines her New York Times bestselling Christmas classic with a brand-new picture book that features woodland animals in a magical wintery world.

'Twas the night before Christmas,

and all through the house...

not a creature was stirring,

not even a mouse....

That may be how the classic Christmas poem begins, but in Mary Engelbreit's latest reimagining of The Night Before Christmas, it's a family of mice that take center stage when a jolly intruder squeezes into their tiny abode and makes himself known.

And though he looks like Santa-sack of toys, dressed in fur, telltale rosy cheeks-this isn't the old St. Nick readers might expect! In this snow-covered forest, a whole host of woodland animals embody the beloved characters of the famous fabled Christmas Eve.
