Christmas Challenge Dec 9

As Nightmare is one of my top 5 favourite films, when I discovered this in the wonderful Norfolk Children's Book Centre earlier this year there was no way it was going back on the shelf! This is a commemorative edition celebrating the 20th anniversary of the book's original publication and Burton has added some extra drawings to it. I love the fact that it so clearly parodies The Night Before Christmas and I enjoyed the rhyming text. The cover has a velvety feel to it, making holding it a tactile experience, I do so love books that are beautifully produced inside and out. This will be a treasured possession for many years.
