I'm almost afraid that it will wear out because he watches it so much. There's a DVD inside the front cover that is just adorable. There are options to watch the movie in it's entirety or read the story yourself with the words that come up along with pictures.my son really enjoys this option as well as watching the movie; complete with the Santa in the sleigh that flies up to the rooftop, and then continues on his way to the other homes. I got this for my autistic spectrum son, who is 14 and obsessed with Christmas and "Night Before Christmas" books. With all that you get, the beautiful book AND the DVD, this is a bargain and I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this book for anyone- young or old. I randomly chose this book as I was searching on the Amazon site, and boy, am I glad I did. He has something of a collection of them. The book is just beautifully illustrated, which should be enough in and of itself.but BONUS.
While this edition by Running Press may no longer be available, no doubt some entrepreneur is quickly working on a similar type book which can be used in many ways. You might even slide a thin festive cord around the book, and hang it as an ornament on your family Christmas Tree; I did just that. The illustrations look Victorian, and the text is done in calligraphy. If you are looking for a unique version of The Night Before Christmas, this copy will be just that. "Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night." I don't have to tell you about the story; it's universally known. The palm-size book is about 3 inches by 3 ½ inches, and probably ½" thick. This will probably be a great stocking-stuffer for one of your children, or maybe a clever table card for everyone attending your Christmas Eve dinner; a hanging bookmark with someone's name will add to the beauty of the table set before the guests.
The illustrations are just beautiful and remind me of my book from "yesteryear" I would recommend this book as a real "treasure" to have and keep. I bought this book for the baby daughter of a friend. She is from Brazil and I wanted her to have this classic story as a "keep sake".
Smaller than a postcard. I was really looking forward to reading this to my daughter for her first Christmas, but it is tiny, really tiny, and all she wanted to do with it was put it in her mouth. Maybe the bigger version is nice, but it was a big waste to buy this little thing and I was very disappointed. Check the dimensions on the book you are buying. I should have known with the low price, but didn't think to check the size of the book.
I received my books very quickly and in mint condition. I was extremely happy with this seller.
