Illustrated by
Kat Whelan.
Whelan's illustrations show a cast of mice as the characters in Moore's classic poem, including mouse Santa with white beard and bifocals (the reindeer are still reindeer). The cardstock pages facilitate multiple readings. Though it's kind of a cheap ploy, the glittery accents in the pictures (luckily they're not too cutesy) may catch readers' eyes.
