Bookroo's summary

Little Mouse's quest for holly becomes an adventure when snowflakes fall, sparking fears of a sky unraveling. Imagining strange creatures and invisible monsters, he races home. Can Big Mouse calm his fears and reveal the magic of snow?

From the publisher

In search of the perfect holly with shiny berries to decorate his Christmas tree, Little Mouse begins to make his way home. Suddenly soft white flakes begin falling all around him. “The sky is coming undone!” fears Little Mouse. As he hurries home to tell Big Mouse his imagination overwhelms him. First, he sees a “strange creature” waving its arms at him as he passes the water. Then when he turns around he sees that an invisible monster is leaving footprints right behind him! Finally, after running circles Little Mouse arrives home only to find a giant “white monster” in front of the door. When Big Mouse finds Little Mouse outside he reassures him that the sky is not coming undone, but that it is snowing; after explaining away lIttle Mouse’s fears, he shows Little Mouse that snow makes for a magical Christmas indeed.
