(2) K-3 This attractive picture book tells the story of a mouse family's homey Christmas preparations. Double-page spreads of detailed directions for making crafts and cookies alternate with spreads showing the Mousekin family busily baking, painting, sewing, knitting, and more. Even the noncrafty may be inspired by Smith's pattern-filled illustrations to take scissors in hand and cut out some snowflakes.
