The Night After Christmas is a very charming children’s book that is an extension of the Clement C. Moore classic, The Night Before Christmas. In this book, we learn what it’s like for the elves and Mrs. Claus to be back in the North Pole waiting for Santa’s arrival. When a blustery snow storm blows through everyone is worried that Santa might not make it back this time.
But with Mrs. Claus’s confident remarks the elves are reassured and before they know it, Santa has arrived! The book goes on to describe Santa’s grand welcome home and gives us a little peek into what it’s like for Santa once he disembarks that sleigh and slumps into his easy chair.
The Night After Christmas follows the rhyme scheme of the original book. The words and phrases are catchy and unique and put the reader in the holiday spirit. The illustrations of the book are nicely done and some pages are cute enough for framing!
Kora & Logan enjoyed this book. They are so excited for Christmas and reading this book practically had them jumping up and down. The book prompted many questions like, “How many more days until Christmas?” and “Is that Santa?” (pointing to a picture of Santa resting with his hat off) and “Is that a girl elf?! I didn’t know their were girl elves!”
If you have little ones who enjoy The Night Before Christmas, Michael Hebler’s The Night After Christmas will be sure to make their eyes sparkle and their hearts happy.

I don’t have little ones, but my BFF does. I’ll share this with her; she loves to read to her children.
