Description
For Mouse, Christmas means just one thing... DANGER! It's a health-and-safety nightmare from spiky pine needles to dusty icing sugar to songs about open fires. In fact, it would be safer if Christmas was simply cancelled. CANCELLED?! Can the animals of Jingle Bell Forest save Christmas from the grip of Mouse's checklist before it's too late?
Features
The stakes are high in this seasonal picture book: Christmas itself is in danger of being cancelled!
Children will relish the anticipation of Christmas and the comical responses that Mouse has to all the festive preparations.
Humour that will appeal to both parents and children - from the sheer silliness to the satirical dig at our health-and-safety culture!
Warm and engaging message - like Scrooge and the Grinch, Mouse is an anti-hero made good by the power of Christmas!
