Cajun Night Before Christmas (Abbreviated Board Book)

Description:

This abbreviated board book edition is the perfect introduction to this classic tale! Take the classic story of jolly old St. Nicholas, place it in a Louisiana bayou setting, dress Santa Claus in muskrat from his head to his foot, pile his skiff high with toys, and hitch it to eight friendly alligators. The result is this modern classic. Fifty years after its first appearance, Cajun Night Before Christmas has sold more than one million copies and has served as the model for Pelicans ongoing, best-selling Night Before Christmas Series. The Cajun Night Before Christmas has been a part of Louisianas holiday traditions since it was first published in 1973. A delight to both young and old with its rustic full-color illustrations and lively story, it has become a timeless addition to holiday celebrations far beyond south Louisiana, reaching all corners of the country with its charming presentation of Christmas on the bayou and the break-out star of Gaston the Green-Nosed Alligator.
