This
is a very cute under-water rendering of the classic Clement Clark Moore poem “Twas the Night Before Christmas”, with Santa as a jolly walrus with seahorses pulling a conch-shell sleigh. A young lobster takes the role of
the child excited about Christmas. Bright colors and interesting sea life
bring the poem to life. This would be a wonderful read-aloud for a librarian, parent or grandparent.
