This review published by The Children's Book and Media Review run by Brigham Young University.
Mouse is busy getting everything ready for Christmas. Mouse has to hang lights and holly, hang decorations on the tree, and leave presents under the tree for a special friend. Robin comes to share some gingerbread, and there are lots of other treats to eat and games to play. There are carols to sing with friends, stockings to hang, and Santa to wait for as Mouse celebrates Christmas.
This simple book is written in lose rhyme, not always being exact, but still close enough to have a nice rhythm and sound to it. There is not much of a plot, but the illustrations make up for it. The gorgeous watercolor illustrations of Mouse exploring the house and getting ready for Christmas will please children and the adults who read the book to those children. While some people would appreciate more of a story, many readers will still enjoy the book for its illustrations, poetic feel, and festive spirit.

Mouse scampers throughout the house to decorate and celebrate Christmas. We see several other animals interact with Mouse as they wait for Santa. Readers will enjoy the rhyming text and the detailed illustrations.
For: mouse fans; readers looking for a Christmas book that focuses on the season's activities.
Possible red flags: hyper-realistic illustrations of animals.

I love the ART! it is beautiful. It is warm and inviting and it is ornate.
This is a simple Rhyme about a little mouse spreading Christmas cheer. This is a cute little story.

Cute, relatively simple book that touches on various Christmas items, like paper chains and gingerbread. Book on the small side -- may be hard to share in storytime.
