Book DescriptionMortimer Mouse needs a new house -- a house that's
not so cold, cramped, and dark. Where can he go?
He sees a huge tree covered with twinkling lights. And next to the tree,
a mouse-size house. And inside the house, a wee wooden manger just
Mortimer's size. But statue people seem to already live there! One by one,
Mortimer lugs and tugs the statues out of the house -- only to find them all
put back in their places each evening! What is Mortimer to do?
It's not until he overhears a very special story that Mortimer realizes
whose house he is sharing and where Mortimer himself belongs. It is the
story of Christmas and the ngiht the baby Jesus was born that warms
Mortimer's heart in this magical holiday offering from award winners Karma
Wilson and Jane Chapman.
