One of the books in my daughter's Christmas collection.

5 Stars = For sentimental reasons.

[Katie · Rating 3 out of 5]

It's cute. Certainly younger readers will empathize with Little Mouse. The art is nice.

This is one I remember from my childhood but had such a hard time finding a reference to it nevermind a copy. Finally found one so I had to open it up even though Christmas is long over.
