A book written to obtain the short attention span of children yet leads one through a beautiful little adventure and in the end, an example of love and caring. It started a new tradition in our home that lasts yet to this day. Our grandchildren so enjoy the little gift tied with a yellow ribbon, tucked in the tree. You too will find it hard to resist.

Not only is this an adorable story, the illustrations are incredible.

Mouse lives all by himself in a big house, where he often dreams of having friends and a name. As he's getting ready for bed on Christmas Eve he realizes that no one gives Santa Claus presents, so he gets out his piece of cheese and leaves it for Santa. Santa appreciates it so much that he names the mouse Santa Mouse, and gives Santa Mouse a job as his helper.

This is an enchanting book, and a wonderful addition to any Christmas collection.

Santa Mouse is an adorable story about a lonely little mouse in a big house. He plays in his own little fantasy world, and like the borrowers, uses small, discarded human things to create his cozy living space. Santa Mouse doesn't have anything to give Santa, so he leaves St. Nick a piece of cheese he has been saving. Santa is so pleased that he makes a special request of the little mouse. Children love this delightful book. The tiny elements that are associated with a mouse with "human" characteristics is always a pleaser. In addition to the charisma of the book, the story prods children to relish in their own gift giving. A very important virtue in us all.

When we purchased this book, some thirty years ago, we never dreamed that we had founded a tradition! This book is one that our children have always loved and looked forward to each and every year! We now read it to our grandchildren and anyone else who will listen. It has a perfect rythym to read to all children and the joy of the words fills the hearts of youngsters and adults alike. It's not silly or too serious, but just precious and endearing. Who knows. It may start a tradition in your family too!

Santa Mouse has traveled with our family for over 30 years. Through joy, triumph, tragedy, births and deaths every Christmas we would break it out. As life has grown and expanded us we have all continued to return each year, gather together and read our beloved Santa Mouse. It has been a missel of love, memories and treasured times that has woven through our lifes like a thread of gold. A wonderful addition to any special Christmas library. Why we just finished it for the 34th time!

This is a wonderful Christmas story. My children love the book and the audio tape. We play the tape every day during December - a minimum of five times a day. It is a song and a story that you never tire of and will probably begin a new Christmas tradition of leaving a piece of cheese for Santa Mouse, in addition to the milk and cookies that is left for Santa Claus. Perfectly delightful and a wonderful gift for young children in your life.

I have been reading this book every Christmas since I was a kid. Every year I leave a piece of cheese for Santa Mouse along with the cookies for Santa Claus. You and your children will treasure this heart warming story for life!

This is my favorite Christmas poem after "Twas the Night Before Christmas"! I LOVE THIS BOOK! It is a family favorite. The mouse is so cute. It is a story of gift-giving. How wonderful for Christmastime.

We bought this book when it first came out in 1966..it has a place of honor on our bookshelf, as does Santa Mouse Where Are You. All 3 of our children love this book, even though they are now older, and have children of their own.
