Reviews
Grade 1–3—Jean Van Leeuwen's clever story (Dial, 1975) begins when Marvin stakes out a new home in Macy's department store. It has everything a mouse needs—a toy department with doll houses, a mattress section with bedding, TVs, and a deli with many varieties of cheeses. Marvin persuades his friends, Raymond and Fats, to join him. The three mice befriend the store's Santa Claus, who leaves food for them. One day Santa goes missing and the mice are determined to crack the case. Through several failed plans, Marvin learns the value of teamwork and discovers the true spirit of Christmas. The Jazzy bits of Christmas carols between scenes set the mood. The full-cast narration is brilliant, making each character unique and full of life, from the scheming Marvin to the intellectual Raymond and the soulful Fats. A delightful addition to audiobook collections.—Cynthia Grabke, Halifax Elementary School, MA

Merciless Marvin ³The Magnificent² Mouse has found the perfect home for winter--Macy's department store. He and his gang nibble the cheese, ride the model train, and take up residence in a dollhouse in the toy department. All is going wonderfully until the store's beloved Santa, Mr. Dunderhoff, disappears. Then it's off to the races to find Santa and save Christmas by employing yet another one of Marvin's ³bold, foolproof new plans.² Daniel Bostick and the gang at Full Cast Audio are pitch-perfect at voicing these comic characters as if they were smaller, kinder Sopranos. Kids will love this adventure, and, most likely, a number of grandparents will want to listen to this instant Christmas classic, as well.
