Very cute children's book, sounds like a very old children's classic story and liked the old world artwork. Sheila Frederiksen  |  12 reviewers made a similar statement

4.0 out of 5 stars illustrated juvenile poem May 29, 2011
By Mei
Format:Kindle Edition
This poem about a mouse that builds a house in a decoration castle on top of a Christmas cake was first published in New York in 1858. The ebook version has 5 illustrations (including the front page). It's a poem for children and has only a few pages of text. You may have to change the text size on your Kindle to be able to read all the lines.

4.0 out of 5 stars Gentle humor brought a smile July 7, 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Cute, easy-to-read-aloud poem with old-fashioned illustrations brought a smile. Just one poem with 5 images scattered throughout.

This Project Gutenberg book can be found in many places. Misspelling and grammar issue were part of the original book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Delightful children's Christmas poem November 8, 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Very sweet poem from the 19th century about a Christmas cake that is topped with a decoration of Windsor Castle. The cake awaits family and friends, sitting on the table while a little mouse nibbles through the door to the castle and makes himself at home. There is also a family cat in the house. The cake, the mouse and the cat make for a chaotic moment on Christmas Day when visitors arrive and the cake is about to be sliced.

If this delighted children long ago, it should still delight them by listening to all the holiday antics in the poem. The Kindle edition has illustrations, also.

Christmas is right around the corner and this poem would be a nice thing to read to children alone or in a group. I very much enjoyed it myself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice illustrated children's Christmas story.
The book falls along the lines of a Beatrice Potter book. The use of animals and illustrations to delight the reader.
