A Moontime Cats Christmas Story
Illustrated by Charlie Mylie
The Cats will Play
Join the adventures with three cat friends as they explore the night filled with snow. After they discover the missing star from the top of the Christmas tree, they do their best to put it back–finishing it off singing carols that only another cat would love.
They have been unaware that they have been followed during the night by a new kitty. But then the shy spy joins their singing, and they have a good time playing together.
All but one of the cats have owners that call them to come home. That one, is the new friend, who doesn’t have a home. A Christmas miracle takes place when they find the perfect place.
This sweet picture book is a story that children will love to hear. While laughing at the cat antics, they will be concerned for the cat without a home, and will cheer happily for the ending.
This nice story is even more fun since it takes places during the holidays. Wonderful, colorful illustrations make this already good tale, even better. Children ages three through eight-years-old will enjoy this five-star book.
On a personal note, I also enjoyed this book because I am very familiar with the Rabbit hOle Museum—a family favorite–that both the author and illustrator helped create.
Thanks to Candlewick Press, for providing Tickmenot with a complimentary copy of, “Merry Mittens,” by Jordan Morris, for the purpose of review. Opinions are my own.
