If you are looking for a gentle and cheery little Christmas story about friendship and cooperation this is for you. Clayton, the house mouse, and Desmond, the field mouse, set out to find the biggest Christmas tree ever. They are told to look at the trees on the far edge of the tree farm. When they bump into one another, they decide to search together. When they find the perfect tree, their families and friends help cut it down. They place it in Clayton's front yard where they decorate it so that every mouse in Mouseville can enjoy it on Christmas Eve. Bassett's colorful illustrations are full of action. Clayton and Desmond are wonderfully animated in both facial expressions and body language. Reviewer: Sharon Salluzzo
