Twas the night before Christmas and like each night that week
Not a creature was stirring, not even a Squeak
Tucked up in her bed, with a new picture book
I couldn't help myself but to take a quick look
An old rhyming tale, about meeting Saint Nick
With bright colourful pages, she fell in love quick
Words from Clement C Moore, drawings by Henry Fisher
Each page illustrated with a beautiful picture
Santa and reindeers, she knew each one's name
And asked me "where's Rudolph", I had to explain
He was feeling quite poorly, nose snotty and red
When Henry drew these pictures, he was sleeping in bed
Now after that rest, Rudy's feeling alright
Ready to guide Santa's sleigh through the night
She started to yawn, her eyes closing too
A fabulous sight for a parent, it's true
So I tiptoed away, and left on the nightlight
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a Good Night!
Disclosure: I was provided with a copy of this book free of charge as part of the Parragon Book Buddies programme. I was not told what to write and all opinions are my own, as is the very poor rhyming, inspired by Clement C. Moore's poem, as featured in the above book.

Love the book review in rhyme. :-) x
