★ 2025 Moonbeam Award Winner (Best Holiday Book, Gold)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.Includes a glossary of winter folklore characters.
