The evening party for all the mouse friends and relations, with presents, feasting, and dancing. And to top it all off, a visit from Santa Mouse himself!Never before told, this mice-eye story is sure to find a place in your heart beside the original classic.á/////////////////////////////////////////////Anne L.
