Overview

Description of the Book: This book captures the magic and excitement of Christmas for young ones everywhere! The story begins on Christmas Eve. Five little mice are snuggled in bed. It's their first Christmas, and they're too excited to fall asleep. Suddenly, they hear a loud snoring sound. They sneak out of their little home to discover Santa asleep on the couch. Thus begins an adventure that becomes their Christmas tradition for years to come. The full-page illustrations that accompany this storybook make it a coloring book as well. Children can color the charming scenes of the little mice in their own bed, their first encounter with Santa, and their clever antics, which end in a humorous disaster and a frantic escape. In the scenes that follow, Santa plays a role in making every Christmas extra special for these mice. Santa believes little ones everywhere should enjoy Christmas!
