Book Reviews of The Nightmare Before Christmas
Book Review: Very funny, great book
Summary: 5 Stars
My four year old daughter was introduced to "The Nightmare Before Christmas" the movie version by my brother last year and she loved it. The book,(which I believe came out before the movie) is a less scary version of the story (Santa does not get tortured)...she thinks it is hilarious and wants me to read it to her every night since receiving it as a Christmas gift. The rhyming prose is great for her age group and really keeps her attention. Plus, the illustrations by Tim Burton are really wonderful. If your child is fascinated by "spooky things" like mine, try some other "funny along the same lines books but not really scary" such as "Skelly the Skeleton Girl," by Jimmy Pickering and "Santa Claws", by Laura Lueck.
