Description

In this picture book from Daniel Kirk, the award-winning and bestselling author-illustrator of the Library Mouse series, comes a fresh spin on the classic Christmas poem ’Twas the Night Before Christmas

When Father Mouse is awakened on Christmas Eve by a clatter outside his window, he catches a glimpse of the one and only Santa Claus! Father Mouse can hardly believe his eyes as he watches St. Nick come down the chimney with a pack full of toys. In this amusing twist on the classic poem by Clement C. Moore, Daniel Kirk reimagines the story from a fresh perspective—and readers of Kirk’s Library Mouse series may discover a familiar friend, too!

Includes a tear-out insert with illustrated Christmas gift tags
