There’s a lot more

stirring in this house

than a mouse…

Travel the world with Santa, listening to ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas in 20 languages… in celebration of the poem’s 200th anniversary!

 

Everyone knows Santa arrives on the rooftop with the clatter of eight tiny reindeer. But did you realize that ’Twas the Night Before Christmas, written by Clement Clarke Moore, created that iconic image? Or that this very poem introduced the big-bellied Santa coming down the chimney in the first place? And that 2023 is the 200th publication anniversary of the poem’s publication? And now, creative director Sally Veillette has packaged the ultimate version of this beloved rhyme to share with the world!

’Twas the Night Before Christmas—200th Anniversary Edition is a brilliantly innovative reincarnation of a classic, allowing Santa to speak in 20 languages to restore joy from the North Pole to Antarctica. Translated and narrated by native speakers, magic is at your fingertips.

Enjoy the poem in 16 languages and 4 Italian dialects: Arabic, Chinese, Dutch, English, French, German, Hebrew, Hindi, Italian (with Milanese, Neapolitan, Salentino and Sicilian dialects), Malayalam, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Sinhala, Spanish and Ukrainian.

Children can choose languages from a world map, which delightfully lights up the countries in the world where each language is spoken, and the poem in that language begins to play. Animation enlivens each page, in celebration of the poem’s 200th anniversary.

The multilingual Twas200 app, and bilingual paperbacks, ebooks and animated ebooks are available.
