Synopsis

Pippa Mouse is back again, and this time in a charming Christmas story. On Christmas morning, Pippa awakens to find her stocking overflowing, as well as her heart. She gives gifts to her parents and friends, and wishes Christmas could last forever. But after a full and exciting day, what Pippa wants most of all is a good-night kiss from her parents. All new illustrations from Julie Durrell make this re-issue a welcome addition to any Christmas celebration.

About this title

From School Library Journal:

PreSchool-Two slight offerings with overly sweet story lines and too-cute illustrations. Hurray is the story of little Pippa Mouse, who doesn't have a stocking to hang from the mantel so she uses her swimming cap. "It is big and round. It will hold more than a stocking-much, much more!" Happy, Pippa is tucked into bed with the story of "Not-Even." ("Not a creature was stirring,/Not-Even, a mouse !) Christmas comes, fun is had by all, and the little mouse goes to sleep on Christmas night wanting only a good-night kiss. Patrick and his father go to the "white and shiny city to buy a tree." The little bear finds a perfect small one and Papa finds a nice big one; they buy them both. When Patrick drops his tree on the walk home, the father arranges for the little guy to ride home in the trolley. Mother is surprised to see two trees, and picks the prettiest decorations for Patrick's. Most libraries have many better Christmas books for this age group.-A.C.
