Tonight Is Krampus Night!

★ 2025 Moonbeam Award Winner (Best Holiday Book, Gold)“This cheerful, rhyming tale starring some of Western Europe’s folkloric figures will thrill readers…Sullivan and Persico make these friendly monsters heartwarming; readers will enjoy welcoming them to their holiday story times.”— School Library Journal Better watch out! Something delightfully dreadful lurks in the shadows cast by holiday lights.  From Alpine Austrian and German folklore, Krampusnacht (Krampus Night) is when the Krampus—a horned and hooved Yuletide beast—clomps door-to-door to carry away naughty children in his basket. In this beautifully illustrated ode to old European holiday tradition, a little boy named Felix awaits a visit from the Krampus and a festively frightful cast of characters from folklore, including the Yule Cat, Marley’s Ghost, Mari Lwyd, and Frau Perchta. To round out the cultural experience, the back of the book includes a glossary of winter folklore characters.  Tonight Is Krampus Night! is writ
