Kiwi Night Before Christmas

'Twas the night before Christmas and all round the bach, Not a possum was stirring; not one could we catch.Take one Santa dressed in singlet and shorts, and put him on a miniature tractor pulled by eight flying sheep, and you have a Kiwi version of the well-loved Clement C. Moore poem. Children will delight in Yvonne Morrison's humorous text and revel in Deborah Hinde's vibrant illustrations which reflect a Kiwi Christmas at the beach.
