The Christmas Tree Mouse
Meet a delightful new festive friend in The Christmas Tree Mouse by Waterstones Children's Laureate, Joseph Coelho. This heartwarming picture book introduces Santa's tiniest helper, who embarks on an enchanting adventure on Christmas Eve.
As the story unfolds, it's the night before Christmas and a tiny, industrious mouse is scurrying about the house. While everyone else is fast asleep, the Christmas Tree Mouse, Santa's most dedicated and loveable helper, is hard at work. Her important mission involves ensuring everything is perfect for when Santa arrives. She sweeps away Santa's snowy footprints, nibbles up the leftover mince pie crumbs, and, most crucially, uses her Santa HQ tablet to confirm that all the correct presents are under the tree.
The festive magic takes an unexpected turn when the Christmas Tree Mouse discovers that baby Ola has received the wrong present. It's a catastrophe of tiny proportions! The determined mouse faces a race against time, utilising all her special training and unwavering resolve to save Christmas from disaster. Along the way, there may even be a special appearance from Santa himself!
The Christmas Tree Mouse is a delightfully funny and heartwarming tale that offers a sneak peek behind the scenes of the most magical night of the year. Beautifully illustrated by debut illustrator Farah Shah, this charming picture book captures the spirit of Christmas and the importance of teamwork and determination. Joseph Coelho’s enchanting storytelling combined with Shah’s delightful illustrations make this the perfect gift for any child this Christmas season.
Immerse yourself in the whimsical world of the Christmas Tree Mouse and discover the tiny hero's big-hearted adventures. Ideal for shared reading with loved ones, this book is bound to become a festive favourite for years to come.
