From School Library Journal:

PreSchool-Grade 3–In this jolly rhyming celebration, the creatures are stirring, and all of them are mice–even Santa and his elves! This warmhearted, holiday alphabet book is an attractive and worthy selection. The lyrical text has a nice flow, although the rhyme scheme is not always perfect. The emphasis is on simple joys such as singing, skating, and creating homemade treats and decorations. P is for presents, but the children take great delight in having wrapped them to give to others. Cheery and secular, this title will work well as a read-aloud for large groups, but the intricacy of the artwork makes it even more suitable for one-on-one or small gatherings. The colorful pictures are full of tiny details worth poring over.–Linda Israelson, Los Angeles Public Library
