Everyone knows that famous line from The Night Before Christmas, Clement Clarke Moore's classic poem: Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. But how many know why all those mice were already in bed, or what they were up to before that?
Here at last is a companion poem to reveal all: The holiday hustle and bustle in the mouse house since early that morning. The evening party for all the mouse friends and relations, with presents, feasting, and dancing. And to top it all off, a visit from Santa Mouse himself!
Never before told, this mice-eye story is sure to find a place in your heart beside the original classic.
