Mouse Tails is the story of two orphans lost in a snowstorm days before Christmas who come upon the Cathedral of the Mountains and are taken in by a kindly man know as Nicholas. By a strange coincidence, a young couple also finds their way to the Cathedral on the same night. Stranded together by fate, these strangers are united by three tales that Nicholas tells them. The stories of Noah’s Ark, the Birth of Christ and the Crucifixion as seen through the eyes of some very small mice offer Hope and Inspiration to all.
This is a children's book. Maybe I should have guessed, because it's called Mouse Tails, but when choosing this as part of my A-Z of Fiction books, I didn't realise that.
This is, however, a cute book to read to children at Christmas time. It is only a few chapters long, and introduces a few stories from the Bible from the perspective of mice who are watching the humans.
If you are looking for a book to read on the nights leading up to Christmas, this may be for you. If my children were younger, I can imagine settling them with some hot chocolate and a blanket, but I doubt any kids would be that interested over the age of about 8yo.
