Richard Scarry's Christmas Mice

Snow blankets the little houses, twinkling lights dance in the windows, and two excited mice peek into stockings and toy boxes — because it’s Christmas in Busytown, and magic is everywhere. In Richard Scarry’s Christmas Mice, readers join these spirited mice on a journey through candy, dolls, even a miniature race car, until they ask: Did Santa leave anything special just for them? 

This cozy holiday tale isn’t only for children—it’s for anyone who remembers the hush of winter mornings, the hope of surprises, and the simple joy of gathering near the tree in our Appalachian foothills home. With lively illustrations, gentle humor, and a happy-ending that warms like cocoa by the hearth, this book makes a perfect read-aloud on chilly evenings, a thoughtful gift under the tree, or a treasured addition to your family’s seasonal shelf.

children will love the happy ending in this sweet story from the 1960s, with its charming illustrations digitally restored to their original brilliance.
