Christmas Mice! Book

The holiday mice are back! It’s Christmas time and the four cheerful mice merrily hang stockings, string popcorn, wrap presents, and sing carols. The little mice are so caught up in their joyful preparations that they almost forget to look out for their old enemy, the cat. Happily, their Christmas spirit is so infectious that even the cat is not immune. Simple, lively verse and colorful, action-filled illustrations convey the all anticipation and goodwill that come with the Yuletide season in this delightful read-aloud.

Children's Literature

Joining their other books (Halloween Mice! and Valentine Mice!), the Christmas Mice are preparing for another holiday. They harvest a tree (a sprig) and decorate it, prepare cookies, and wrap presents. Then they venture outside to sing carols in the snowy woods. The cat has been lurking nearby and much to the mice's surprise he has left a present. They reciprocate. It is all told in a simple text that is filled with lots of onomatopoeia and with drawings that are full of charm. Young ones will surely enjoy the holiday with the Christmas Mice. 2000, Clarion,
