'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house not a creature was stirring, not even . . . a bear?
Only Jane Chapman could reimagine this classic poem with a delightful all animal cast. On the night of Christmas Eve, a family of bears settle down to sleep until Papa Bear is awakened by a racket outside. Polar bear Santa in a sleigh pulled by eight dog-deer bring festive commotion and joy to the class holiday tale
Clement Moore
Clement Clarke Moore, (1779-1863), was a professor at New York City's General Theological Seminary (built on land donated by his father) who, in an 1836 reprint of A Visit From St. Nicholas (more commonly known today as Twas the Night Before Christmas), was first credited as the author of the poem, and later included it in an anthology of his work.
