A Creature Was Stirring by Clement Clarke Moore and Carter Goodrich
My in-laws introduced us to this delightful version a few years ago where on the left page you have the classic text of Twas the Night Before Christmas and on the right page, you have a little boy speaking in verse that is NOT tucked snug in his bed. It’s so cute and clever!

We added this book to our Christmas collection this year – it has the most charming old-fashioned illustrations and the pages are extra-thick (almost like a board book) so it’ll hold up to hundreds of readings.
