From the creators of the New York Times bestseller Snowmen at Night comes a lively story about discovering the joy and meaning of Christmas

When Mr. Mouse and his family move into the warm spot beneath the kitchen stove in a big house, they discover something new and wonderful: an evergreen tree decorated with lights, ginger and peppermint smells in the air, and cookies baking in the oven. They hear about a child born long ago, and a jolly man named Santa who brings gifts to celebrate Jesus’s birth on a day called Christmas. And so Mr. and Mrs. Mouse decide that their family should celebrate Christmas too.

With delightful rhyming verse, detailed illustrations (with hidden pictures to search for!), and a childlike sense of wonder, the story of the Mouse family’s first Christmas is sure to become a holiday tradition.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 2—Delightful rhyming verse presents the tale of Mr. Mouse and his family as they discover Christmas traditions. After moving into the warm spot beneath the kitchen stove in a big house, Mr. and Mrs. Mouse are curious to find out why the human family is decorating the evergreen that was brought into the home and why the kitchen smells of ginger and peppermint. Mr. Mouse soon discovers all the preparation is for Christmas and hears about a child born long ago and a jolly man named Santa who brings gifts to celebrate the baby Jesus's birth on a day called Christmas. Mr. and Mrs. Mouse decide that their family should also celebrate Christmas. The double-page, warm, colorful illustrations offer an opportunity to really examine the drawings; three creatures (rabbit, cat, tyrannosaurus) are hidden on each page. VERDICT A fun and engaging tale to share one-on-one.—Diane Olivo-Posner Los Angeles Public Library

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Caralyn Buehner grew up as a book lover, which she credits with developing fluency as a writer. She began writing for children after her husband, Mark, established his career as a picture book illustrator, and they have been collaborating on books for over 30 years, including the NYT bestselling Snowmen at Night book series and Boston Globe Honor Award winner, Fanny’s Dream. While raising a family, and being a firm believer in reading aloud, she spent many, many hours in libraries with her children, reading “a lot of picture books. A lot.” She is fascinated with the emotion between written lines, how subtle word and punctuation choices affect storytelling, and how much of a story can be told inside the pictures. She loves how Mark’s immense talent not only brings her stories to joyous life, but adds so much richness to them, and how the whimsy in the details and hidden pictures captures readers of all ages. She loves windows, dark chocolate, and being a mom and grandma.

My son loves this books. He first borrowed it from his school library and wanted me to read it over and over. He was sad to have to return it so I decided to buy it for him. What a pleasant surprise to find that inside the jacket are hidden pictures. My son and I had so much fun.

My son absolutely LOVES this book. In addition to the beautifully written story, and amazing illustrations, we spent hours searching for the hidden pictures. We pour over the pages, every time we read it. It's not too long, super sweet, and a perfect holiday book to add to your collection.

Delightful Christmas story. I buy a new Christmas book for my grandchildren every year. This was the book I chose this year. The story is really cute and the illustrations are very well done. Both the story and the pictures held the children's attention and they wanted it read to them throughout the Christmas season.
