Dear Morris and Emily, In this book, you’re going to help save Christmas Eve. Merry Christmas!

Love, Grandma and Grandpa

‘Twas the night before Christmas,

and all through the house, not a creature was stirring...

...except for this mouse.

This is Mistletoe, a magical Christmas Eve mouse.

He secretly lives with Morris and Emily.

Once a year he has a very important job to do.

Have you ever wondered how Santa gets into everyone’s homes, even the ones without chimneys?

To do this, Santa needs a magical dust...

...expertly prepared by every Christmas Eve Mouse.

One mouse...

...in every...

...house.

Mistletoe is ready and waiting, Santa is due in Bristol soon!

He opens his important bag and gets ready to sprinkle the magical dust...

Oh no!

Something has tickled his nose.

What will magical dust mixed with mouse sneeze do?

The magical dust has landed on...

Morris

and Emily

Not only has it shrunk them, but it has made them into mice too...

...and there is none left for Santa.

Mistletoe has failed at his important job.

There is no way he can make more magic dust alone... ...but he is not alone.

Morris and Emily promise to help.

There is no time to waste!

Mistletoe shows them the magical dust recipe.

They set about gathering the ingredients.

Christmas

1. A sprinkling of love from a Christmas card.

2. A smidge of joy from a cracker joke.

3. A speck of deliciousness from a Christmas treat.

4. A drop of merriment from Santa’s drink.

Santa

Here is your Favourite drink!

5. A pinch of wishes from a stocking.

7. A hint of excitement from a wrapped present.

And the final, most important ingredient is all the way... ...UP THERE! 8. A touch of hope from the highest needle on the Christmas tree.

It’s such a long way ...

...up...

...keep going!

Don’t look down!

Nearly there.

Try not to get...

...TANGLED!

There are sleigh bells outside, and you know what that means!

I t ’s up to Morris and Emily.

Got it!

Quick! Drop it in, before it’s too late!

Will he leave any gifts...?

You will have to wait until the morning to see!!

‘Twas the morning of Christmas, and all through the house, all were unwrapping presents...

...except for this mouse!
