It’s the night before Christmas
and all through the zoo,
we’re working nonstop—
there's so much to do!

Narrated in playful rhyming text inspired by the classic ’Twas the Night Before Christmas poem, this delightful, illustrated children’s book is sure to bring holiday cheer with its open-hearted celebration of creativity, generosity, and the zoo animals we love.
