Rowsy's Night Before Christmas
Lynn Sheffield Simmons has written the enchanting words for this book. The beautiful color photos are taken by Denise Remfert, an award winning photographer. The pairing of these two talented people has produced Rowdy’s Night Before Christmas, a colorfully photographed take on Clements traditional Night Before Christmas.
Rowdy, a Yorkshire terrier given to Lynn by her husband is three months old in these lovely pictures. Lynn used other mementos of other books and her life to showcase this cute little terrier.
Rowdy celebrates his first Christmas by getting into mischief with the Christmas decorations and presents, and a lot of resting in between his escapades; after all, he is a puppy.
“His eyelids grew heavy;
he started to doze
beside a sweet angel
in long, flowing clothes”
Children will love to pour over the pictures as the story is read to them as it becomes a tradition to be read on Christmas Eve. Parents will enjoy watching their children laugh in delight as they ask for a second or third or…reading.
