When I started this blog I wasn’t sure what I was getting myself into, and when I started getting emails from other dads saying they liked what I wrote, I knew that I was going down the right path. One of the first emails I received was from St. Louis native Ryan Nusbickel. He wanted to give me a shout out to let me know that he enjoyed my blog. He also was kind enough to send me two children’s books that he had written and illustrated. I have been sitting on these books waiting for the right time to post about them… Since today is Half Christmas<\/a> it seemed like the perfect time to write about one of them in particular.<\/p>\n

\"stlnightbeforechristmas\"The St. Louis Night Before Christmas<\/em>\u00a0is a fantastic story that takes you on a journey through all of the great locations\u00a0found in our area. The illustrations are hilarious and fit the theme of the book perfectly. As you can imagine the story is in the style of The Night Before Christmas poem written by\u00a0Clement Clarke Moore. The rhyming and imagery make this a must own story for anyone familiar with the St. Louis area. Plus it’s not expensive!<\/p>\n

My kids thought this book was great. According to my daughter, Santa and her are currently BFF’s, so if she says this is seriously entertaining, then why miss out for another\u00a0year?<\/p>\n

So do yourself a favor this Half Christmas and pick up this excellent book. Ryan’s website is StLouisChildrensBooks.com<\/a> and NusbickelBooks.com<\/a>. Either link will take you to the same place.\u00a0Don’t want to order online? His book is also available in select retail locations. Check out the list here<\/a>!<\/p>\n
