Inspired by the famous Christmas poem, "The Night Before Christmas," this sweet picture book about Christmas in the Navy the perfect holiday gift for children of military families and anyone with loved ones serving overseas.
’Twas the night before Christmas, when way out to sea Not a creature was stirring to windward or lee. The sailors were nestled all snug in their racks Like orders of pancakes, so tight were the stacks.
One Christmas Eve out at sea, some homesick sailors are paid a visit by Master Chief Claus, the Santa of Sailors. This lively and poignant tale was inspired by Clement C. Moore’s classic yuletide poem.
Kirkus Reviews, September 1, 2014: "Young readers who like ships and planes will be drawn to this setting, and anyone with a connection to the U.S. Navy would be pleased to find this under the Christmas tree."
Trish Holland is the author of the Little Golden Books I'm Not Sleepy, I Can Do It!, and Lasso the Moon. She is also the coauthor of the Big Golden Book The Soldiers' Night Before Christmas.
