A coastal Christmas tale for young readers, sure to delight fans of Clement C. Moore's classic Christmas poem
Creatures of the ocean celebrate Christmas Eve in this illustrated undersea retelling of "A Visit by St. Nicholas" by Rev. Clement C. Moore. Under the waves and surrounded by swaying ocean eel grass, Sea Santa makes his yearly Christmas journey. Pulled in his clamshell sleigh by his eight faithful minnows, beautiful watercolor paintings illustrate his visit to a family of lobsters.
Told in sweet and clever rhyme, The Lobsters' Night Before Christmas combines a holiday classic with delightful newness. After the poem, children can learn fun facts about lobsters, such as what they look like, what they eat, and how they molt. See if you can find the lobster hiding in the eelgrass throughout the book!
Praise for The Lobsters' Night Before Christmas...
"Here, our beloved Christmas story is creatively translated into a tale from lobster-land. We follow Santa Claws into the depths of the sea, distributing his precious gifts and meeting its denizens, all illustrated in poetical watercolors by Elizabeth Moisan." —Jelle Atema, Ph.D. Proffesor Emeritus of Biology, Boston University Marine Program
"What a fun and fascinating experience to have a lobster arriving instead of Santa Claus and minnows replacing the tired old reindeer. The illustrations are full of action and give the viewer much room for added imagination. A must share with the children, grandchildren, and parents." —Suzanne M. Packer, nationally exhibiting artist, first director of the Cape Cod Museum of Art
