A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

Praise for The Night Before Christmas :

* "Readers will be hooting over the hilarious details in Ercolini’s borderline manic cartoons." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review

Praise for Not Inside this House! (written by Kevin Lewis and illustrated by David Ercolini)

"The precisely composed ink drawing, painting, and Photoshop illustrations, which set the tale in the halcyon age when men wore hats and women donned aprons, add an old-fashioned charm and much humor to the story." -- School Library Journal

Ercolini "shines in the imagining of megafauna lodged in a suburban house: the elephant falling through the floor into the mother's bathroom; the moose antler-shaped gashes on either side of the boy's bedroom door; the submerged first floor with houseplants afloat." -- Publishers Weekly

 

Biographie de l'auteur :

Clement C. Moore (1779–1863), an American scholar and poet, wrote a poem for his children in 1822 called A Visit From St. Nicholas, which would later become known as The Night Before Christmas. A friend submitted it to a local newspaper, The Troy Sentinel, where it was published on December 23, 1823. Moore's delightful verse detailing a visit from of Santa Claus and his eight flying reindeer has since become an international classic.
