A quartet of mice is wide awake and looking for some tasty treats. When what to their wondering eyes should appear, but a mouthwatering buffet and no humans near.
There are pies and pastries, cookies and tarts. A yummy gingerbread house offers the sweetest sugary treat of all. And there's a big bowl of punch to wash it all down. But when the mice try to escape with some grapes, one bounces toward a sleeping cat. Is their holiday caper over?
Rhyming text and lively artwork bring this fun treat to life!
