Santa Mouse

My grandmother bought me this book one year for a Christmas eve present. The next morning I have a little present wrapped in yellow ribbon in our Christmas tree. It was a tradition that carried on with my brother and my cousin. My brother recently had a child and I ant wait to read Santa Mouse to her. I cherished reading this with my grandmother.

Santa Mouse has traveled with our family for over 30 years. Through joy, triumph, tragedy, births and deaths every Christmas we would break it out. As life has grown and expanded us we have all continued to return each year, gather together and read our beloved Santa Mouse. It has been a missel of love, memories and treasured times that has woven through our lifes like a thread of gold. A wonderful addition to any special Christmas library. Why we just finished it for the 34th time!

Not only is this an adorable story, the illustrations are incredible.Mouse lives all by himself in a big house, where he often dreams of having friends and a name. As he's getting ready for bed on Christmas Eve he realizes that no one gives Santa Claus presents, so he gets out his piece of cheese and leaves it for Santa. Santa appreciates it so much that he names the mouse Santa Mouse, and gives Santa Mouse a job as his helper.This is an enchanting book, and a wonderful addition to any Christmas collection.

Santa Mouse is an adorable story about a lonely little mouse in a big house. He plays in his own little fantasy world, and like the borrowers, uses small, discarded human things to create his cozy living space. Santa Mouse doesn't have anything to give Santa, so he leaves St. Nick a piece of cheese he has been saving. Santa is so pleased that he makes a special request of the little mouse. Children love this delightful book. The tiny elements that are associated with a mouse with "human" characteristics is always a pleaser. In addition to the charisma of the book, the story prods children to relish in their own gift giving. A very important virtue in us all.

When we purchased this book, some thirty years ago, we never dreamed that we had founded a tradition! This book is one that our children have always loved and looked forward to each and every year! We now read it to our grandchildren and anyone else who will listen. It has a perfect rythym to read to all children and the joy of the words fills the hearts of youngsters and adults alike. It's not silly or too serious, but just precious and endearing. Who knows. It may start a tradition in your family too!

A book written to obtain the short attention span of children yet leads one through a beautiful little adventure and in the end, an example of love and caring. It started a new tradition in our home that lasts yet to this day. Our grandchildren so enjoy the little gift tied with a yellow ribbon, tucked in the tree. You too will find it hard to resist.
