Scenes from Clement Moores Twas the Night Before Christmas inspire twelve elegant and fascinating compositions where readers search for dozens of intriguing hidden objects.

The first photograph The Night Before Christmas features a gingerbread house Christmas cookies candles bulbs and more. Visions of Sugarplums is an abstract composition of Christmas confections; and Such a Clatter! is a dynamic explosion of objects. In It Must Be Saint Nick Santa is shown in shadow; and in A Bundle of Toys the presents in Santas sack are revealed as a magnificent jumble. The final photograph Happy Christmas to All is a beautiful pastoral landscape lustrous under new-fallen snow.

The original poem is printed on the endpapers.
