Colby Mouse’s Christmas Gift

“Colby Mouse’s Christmas Gift,” by Barbara Bockman, illustrated
by K.C. Snider, is a lovely addition to children’s Christmas picture books.
Colby the mouse lives with Becky’s family. It’s Christmas Eve when Daddy brings
home the Christmas tree to decorate. Colby watches as the family decorates the
tree. Mommy lights the candles and places their presents under the tree. Together
they read the story of the first Christmas about gifts for Baby Jesus. Then it’s
time for bed. Daddy leaves cookies and milk for Santa and some cheese to catch
Colby. In the morning, the family sees a surprise—a gift from Colby.
K.C. Snider’s beautiful artwork enriches Ms. Bockman’s sweet,
tender story. Each scene is a feast for the eyes. The words convey a simple
message—we all have gifts we can give in the spirit of Christmas. Highly
recommended for ages 4 to 7. #PB
