Mouse S First Halloween

Inquisitive Mouse steps out again on a holiday. This time it's Halloween night! One spooky night when the moon was bright, Mouse crept around, and this is what he found...

Late one winter night, Mouse discovers new sights, smells, and tastes: sweet and sparkly cookies, jingly and glinty bells, and lots of boxy and ribbony presents. Mouse doesn't know what any of it means, until a whiskery and jolly guest arrives with a very special holiday message.

Early one morning, Mouse follows his sister around the house. She's making something special. It's red and lacy and very pretty. Snip! Snip! Snip! What will it be?

Little Mouse explores the symbols of autumn and delights in the diverse events of Halloween as he learns that they are not as frightening as they seem. On board pages.

As Halloween approaches, Mouse helps her friend Mole get over his fear and enjoy the holiday.

Mouse watches his sister making a valentine and wonders what it is.
