Christmas with the Mousekins
K-Gr 3–'Twas two weeks before Christmas and Mama, Papa, Mimi, Momo, and Baby Mousekin busily prepare for the holiday by selecting a tree, writing letters to Santa, baking cookies, caroling, and other traditional activities. The bustle of the season is captured in this sampler format, which includes crafts, recipes, poems, and Nana Mousekin's Christmas Eve story. The colorful, cozy artwork is filled with intricate detail that will appeal to the very young. The crafts, many of which require tracing of small patterns and recipes that involve baking, are geared for older children. Best for parent or teacher use with small groups.Madeline J.
