On Christmas Eve, ten little mice are huddling out in the open, shivering in the cold snow.  One by one, each mouse finds a warm little spot to sleep.  The problem is that then they are each alone.  In the end, one clever mouse discovers a hollow log that will accommodate all ten mice.  They snuggle together warm and happy.  With beautiful, rich illustrations and a rhyming narrative, this delightful read aloud trips off the tongue.  The opportunity presents for counting practice and/or a discussion about the importance of friendship.
