Together at Christmas by Eileen Spinelli

 


It's Christmas Eve, and a family of ten mice shivers in the snow. One by one, each mouse finds a place to stay warm, only to discover that they'd rather huddle together on this holiday night. Together at Christmas by Eileen Spinelli illustrated by Bin Lee was published in September 2012. 

This is such a cute story that is not like a lot of Christmas stories that are out there. All four of my kids really enjoyed listening to this story. This story has counting down and counting up involved as it goes into a plot of mice trying to find a place to stay warm when in reality they find out that they are better together in the cold. Then by themselves in the snow especially on Christmas. The illustrations were a bit interesting. The background of the picture looked real life-like where the mice in the story looked cartoonish. Not sure if that was on purpose or not but it was an interesting thing to see. I recommend checking this out for Christmas.
