Rating: 1- 5 (5 is excellent or a Starred review) 4
Genre: Holiday Picture Book
What did you like about the book? Three cute little white mice in holiday outfits are ready to decorate. They begin with the lights, a popcorn and cranberry garland, ornaments, candy canes, and a star made from a block of cheese. But next come snacks, sunglasses, hot chocolate, a map, an air freshener and fuzzy dice. Turning the page, the reader discovers that these little mice are not decorating a Christmas tree. They are decorating the Santa Express, a fancy green turbo charged rocket sleigh driven by a polar bear Santa! The illustrations depict the mice in a snowy winter wonderland and are filled with expression and fun. This is a cute addition to holiday read alouds!
