get ready for Christmas. But when the house cats get involved, you can expect a little bit of mischief. Can Marty save the day in time for Christmas?
Book Review:
This is a really short picture book, so I’ll keep my review short as well.
What first grabbed my interest when it comes to this book is the art work on the cover.
That little mouse with a christmas hat and schal was just too cute to pass.
And let me tell you, the art work through the whole book is just plain beautiful.
This is a story about little mouse and his friends who are preparing a performance for Santa Claus.
The story itself is solid and I think many children will enjoy it.
I would recommend this book for parents with toddlers, to read it to them in an anticipation of Christmas.
I also think it is a great choice for kids who are just learning to read and for kids who are learning English as a foreign language.
My rating:
Story: 
Art Work:

I read it on my own because I don’t have my own children and my nieces are not interested in english. They only like to read in croatian bc they don’t understand English.
And my nephews who know english are not interested in books, so… I’m stuck alone in this hobby, at least for now. 🙂

The TV shows are really good and it’s based on the books, and they also have movies. I lost count of the books but there are many and it’s all standalone.
