In this night before Christmas, the only creature stirring is a little mouse, who finds all sorts of wonderful things--a "sweet and sparkly" cookie, some "warm and melty" hot chocolate, a "jingly and glinty" jingle bell. The hint-and-tell format lends itself perfectly to reading aloud; the toasty warm, textured illustrations cinch its seasonal appeal. This book will put readers and listeners in a Christmas mood.
