is
Another night before Christmas
by Carol Anne Duffy
an absolutely lovely contempory take in the Clement Moore poem.
The hushed street was in darkness. Snow duveted the cars-
a stray cat had embroidered each roof with its paws.
An owl on an aerial had planets for eyes.
The child at the window stared up at the sky.^

I picked up the dangerous book for boys for my ds and it looks sooooo good. I think my dh will be reading it before ds can get his hands on it.

Sounds lovely - am a sucker for books in general and have bought about 6 xmas books this year. Can I buy another I ask myself????

yes you can! my favorite x-mas shopping is buying the books for dh and the kids. I love it! I always tell myself buying a book is money well spent, especially for kids. I got my other ds a book on dragonology and it is excellent. He will love it.
