Hallmark retells Clement C. Moore's classic 'Night Before Christmas' poem with rich illustrations from Joseph Adolphe - and a unique personal twist. The Night Before Christmas Recordable Story (Hallmark) allows grandparents and distant relatives to record their voice reading along. When a page is turned, the book automatically plays that page's content in the reader's voice. These books were very popular and in September 2010, Hallmark donated 20,000 copies to troops overseas.Hallmark brought out  recordable storybooks in 2009 - you can record your voice as you turn the pages, and then your grandchild (or whoever you give it to) can listen to your voice as they read (or look at the pictures!), making for a unique gift with the personal home-made touch and the professional look of a shop-bought gift. The pages work using light sensors in each page, to detect when it is open.This is the 2011 release.
