The hour was late on a cold and snowy winter night. It was almost Christmas, and everyone was filled with cheer—all except for a lonely, orphaned mouse named Felix. Little Felix, a three-month-old ball of fur, lived under a cluster of Christmas ferns in a well-tended garden just outside a two-story bungalow. It might be home, but Felix wanted more for Christmas, like a family and a warm place to live.

As little hands hold this book, the richly illustrated tale comes to life for young readers to enjoy.
