The Nightmare Before Christmas - T. Burton

In this beloved picture book that could only come from the
visionary mind of author and illustrator TIM BURTON, we meet Jack
Skellington-- a well-intentioned inhabitant of Halloweenland. Jack
is bored of "the scaring, the terror, the fright....tired of being
something that goes bump in the night." And so, in an effort to
bring to joy to his town, Jack kidnaps Santa and takes his place as
the jolly old elf. But instead of bringing joy to the world Jack,
who is a little more than a grinning skeleton, brings fear by
delivering creepy toys and riding a sleigh carried by skeletal
reindeer. Only through a number of things going horribly wrong does
Jack learn the true meaning of Christmas.
