Walter and Jeanette Mouse are quite happy with their life under a fine cottage which provides food and comfort. When Walter overhears a conversation among humans, a great change in the couple's world takes place. Their life suddenly needs repair for lots of reasons. Santa Claus and a guest appearance from Mrs. Claus just may be the answer to their growing problems. This delightful Christmas story is as full as Santa's sack. The pages are packed with enchanting drawings, fascinating characters, and lots of "almost" hidden visual treats. This tale teaches a strong life lesson to young listeners and readers who definitely will revisit it before, during, and after the Christmas season. Richard L.
