This little piggy said, “His eyes how they twinkle!” This little piggy said, “His nose looks like a cherry.” This little piggy said, “His cheeks are like roses!” This little piggy said, “His dimples how merry!" This fun read-aloud mash-up follows the rhyme and rhythm of the original toe-play nursery rhyme, while also paying irreverent tribute to Clement Clarke Moore’s classic poem “The Night Before Christmas.” It’s Christmas Eve, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring . . . except for the Little Piggy, who runs out the door because she knows Santa is coming! Soon all the other piggies are awake, causing enough mischief and mayhem to make this one visit Santa won’t soon forget. This Little Piggy's Night Before Chistmas captures all the anticipation and exuberant excitement of the holidays! Full of pure silliness and joy, children will relish in reading about five little piggies who are just as excited about Christmas as they are. And This Little Piggy Said, “Merry Christmas to All and to All a Good Night!”

Ho Ho Ho! Its Christmas Eve and Father Christmas and his reindeer are in full swing, delivering presents to all the good boys and girls, when suddenly disaster strikes as Santa gets a surprise of his own! Will Christmas be ruined this year, or will it be a clean getaway for Santa? Find out in this hilarious and sweet reimagining of Clement C. Moore's classic poem, that is sure to delight both children and their parents alike! This is a beautifully illustrated and unique take on the classic poem that is sure to put a smile on everyones face this Christmas! A word from the author: "I absolutely loved Clement C. Moore's poem as a child, but when I grew up and tried to read it to my own children, they did not share my enthusiasm. The book is truly a classic but also a little outdated, but one of my children's biggest gripes was the absence of Rudolph. Poor Clement...he wasn't to know. I felt sad that they couldn't share in my enjoyment of the original, especially as it is is the only story to name all the rendeer (well minus one), so I vowed to try and rewrite this story whilst breathing new life into it. Now tackling what it without a doubt the most famous poem in the English language was not a task that I undertook lightly, but it has been given the seal of approval from my little ones, and I truly belief I have created something original, sweet and funny, whilst maintaining the essence of the original. This year, more than most, we need a little festive cheer. So with that in mind, I hope you enjoy the book, and wish you all a Merry Christmas!"
