About this title

About the Author:

Clement Clarke Moore, (1779-1863), was a professor at New York City's General Theological Seminary (built on land donated by his father) who, in an 1836 reprint of A Visit From St. Nicholas (more commonly known today as Twas the Night Before Christmas), was first credited as the author of the poem, and later included it in an anthology of his work.

Review:

Praise for The Night Before Christmas :

* "Readers will be hooting over the hilarious details in Ercolini’s borderline manic cartoons." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review

Praise for Not Inside this House! (written by Kevin Lewis and illustrated by David Ercolini)

"The precisely composed ink drawing, painting, and Photoshop illustrations, which set the tale in the halcyon age when men wore hats and women donned aprons, add an old-fashioned charm and much humor to the story." -- School Library Journal

Ercolini "shines in the imagining of megafauna lodged in a suburban house: the elephant falling through the floor into the mother's bathroom; the moose antler-shaped gashes on either side of the boy's bedroom door; the submerged first floor with houseplants afloat." -- Publishers Weekly
