Inspired by the famous Christmas poem, "The Night Before Christmas," this picture book about a visit from “the Santa of Sailors” is perfect for children of military families and anyone with loved ones serving overseas. 
 
’Twas the night before Christmas, when way out to sea
Not a creature was stirring to windward or lee.
The sailors were nestled all snug in their racks
Like orders of pancakes, so tight were the stacks.
 
One Christmas Eve out at sea, some homesick sailors are paid a visit by Master Chief Claus, the Santa of Sailors. This lively and poignant tale was inspired by Clement C. Moore’s classic yuletide poem.

JOHN MANDERS is a prolific illustrator of books for children. He most recently illustrated COWBOY CHRISTMAS for Golden Books, as well as THE SOLDIERS' NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS.
From School Library Journal:
Gr 6 Up—Spins on Clement C. Moore's "Night Before Christmas" are staples of the annual gift market. This one, like most, is full of awkward rhymes and riffs off the well-known poem, and the humor is geared to the target audience, in this case people in the Navy and/or those who love them. A little fun, a little silly, this version posits a Master Chief Claus (first name Santa) who lands his hornets and a sub full of SEALS on a ship far out to sea. Mission: deliver Christmas cheer. Final words: "Happy Christmas brave sailors! May peace come to all!" Can't argue with that, but librarians should know that the audience for this title is limited.—Anne Connor, Los Angeles Public Library
