Christmas Wishes

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Layn Marlow. A mouse family prepares for Santa's arrival. From decorating the tree and making a snack to the anxious little ones' inability to sleep, the details lack originality. With a nod to Moore's classic Christmas poem, some of Mitton's rhymes are clever, others forced. Marlow's cheerful and varied illustrations play up the mouse-size perspective of events.
