Review

Written by Trish Holland and Christine Ford The classic Night Before Christmas retold with a humorous spin about the navy. Set on Christmas Eve on an aircraft carrier when a sailor standing watch reached his post and ..."what to my wandering eyes should appear. But a Seahawk that hovered. I gave the all clear." Well written with rhyming text that is all navy. It follows the original poem but everything is military. An enjoyable read for those in the military and those who appreciate our military. A well done Christmas tale with a modern spin. Great fun.

Overall Book Score: very good
