Goodnight Krampus [Board book]

Not a creature was stirring...except the mischievous Krampus who's too excited to sleep! It's Christmas Eve and Santa has a lot on his plate, but his biggest challenge is convincing little Krampus to go to bed. Brimming with holiday cheer, this is one bedtime story that's good for goodness' sake.

The charming illustrations and clever rhymes by twin brothers Derek Sullivan, a Seattle illustrator, and Kyle Sullivan, a Portland writer, make this hip book entertaining even for the grown-ups. Seattle TimesShopNW Christmas Gift Guide

Santa:
Before I take off on my Christmas Eve flight,
I must tuck in my friends and wish them goodnight.

Goodnight narwhals, and goodnight yeti.
Goodnight sleepy elves, are you tucked in and ready?

Goodnight Krampus, sweet dreams to you.

Krampus:
Goodnight? No way! Theres so much to do!

Lets dance and spin! Lets sing and cheer!
Who can sleep now with Christmas so near?!
