This clever version of Clement Clarke Moore's classic holiday poem is told with a medical theme as nurses populate the story. Full color.
Front Jacket
"The holiday-spirit-colored illustrations in this book will bring cheer to its readers."
--Review of Texas Books
"With its perky, full-color illustrations by James Rice and a breezy takeoff on the original, this is an entertaining tidbit to place beneath the tree."
--Sanford (NC) Herald
For the head nurse at Angel Hope General Hospital, Christmas Eve is anything but merry. Too many patients, too little help, and a crowded ER all threaten to make this night before Christmas one big headache. When the North Pole Rescue Team arrives, it becomes clear that there will be holiday cheer around the ward, stat!
Saint Emergency Nick saves the day with eight helpful elves (certified RNs, of course), an ambulance-load of gifts, and well-deserved raises for the hospital staff. This updated holiday poem pays tribute to the hardworking men and women who take care of all of us--even on Christmas Eve.
With a storyteller's charm, award-winning Texas author David Davis brings this tale of woe to a delightful conclusion. His other contributions to Pelican's Night Before Christmas Series include Librarian's Night Before Christmas, Redneck Night Before Christmas, and Trucker's Night Before Christmas.

The outstanding list of children's books written and illustrated by James Rice (1934-2004) and the outpouring of praise for his work from such notable publications as the New York Times, Library Journal, Woman's Day magazine, Review of Texas Books, Horn Book, and San Diego Union Tribune earned Rice a place in history as one of the South's leading illustrators of children's books. Born on a farm in Coleman County, Texas, he held degrees in art from the University of Texas and Howard Payne College. Rice visited schools throughout the country to teach children the joys of writing and illustrating. His achievements are even more amazing given that he was colorblind for most of his life.
