APPEALS TO: SOME

The big house is very quiet downstairs and the Mouse Family upstairs takes notice. Since the old man was kind to them, they decide to secretly decorate his tree too.  Maybe the snowstorm held up his family?

Though you risk your little ones inviting mice to hang out for Christmas, the story is sweet and heartfelt.  Very much in the vein of a traditional Christmas story. The end papers are super cute, too. And the little touch at the end, letting us know the man is not forgotten, is a great heart-tug.
