In this simple, rhymed story, mice joyfully bounce through their holiday preparations, decorating their house, wrapping presents, trimming their tree, baking cookies, and singing "Jingle Bells." Suddenly they see footprints- their old enemy, the cat, is lurking nearby! But all ends well in this story of peace and brotherhood.

The fun, colorful illustrations are full of delightful details, such as a postage stamp decorating the wall of the mouse home, and a thimble tree stand for the tiny twig Christmas tree. Even Santa makes an appearance, with his wish for "Peace to all!"

This book would be a great Christmas gift, and is quickly becoming a new Christmas tradition in our home.

As a women's health nurse and student nurse-midwife I have found this book to be invaluable. Every person who works with teenagers should read it.

Dinah postponed marriage, again, and endured the admonishing of her mother by keeping greater distance. She was also protecting
a talented young star visiting Nashville in hopes a great career.
But as Dinah looked out for sharks among the music pool, she lost
sight of the predatory charms coming from her talented young star.

We have several children's bibles in our home, but this book does a better job of explaining the Easter story to pre-schoolers. The book is written in a conversational tone starting with some of the distractions of Easter but quickly focuses on the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ. It reassures children that this was God's plan from the beginning.... it was sad that Jesus died..... but he became alive again and he did it all for them. The last section of the book focuses attention on some of the symbols that can remind the child of the new life they have in Christ.

The Easter Mice hop, hop, hop, and jump, jump, jump, as they hunt for Easter eggs. But one little mouse enjoys the Spring day so much he forgets to hunt for eggs, until it's too late . . . or is it? This charming book has bouncy rhymes, and colorful illustrations that are like a breath of Spring. A winner!

Eleven Elephants Going Up is a great book. My 7 year old loves to search out all of the elephants on each page and my 2 year old loves to try and mimick her brother as he counts to 11. The illustrations are bright and fun!

My 6 year old just finished reading this to me (with a little help) and we both enjoyed it even though Halloween was well over a month ago. The text is simple and repetitive which made the book easy for him to read and caused very little frustration (though a few of the words were new to him). The story is about a group of jolly mice dressed for Halloween. They're dancing, eating and having a great old time until a cat decides to crash the party. They then devise a way to scare off the cat so they can continue their fun. Gotta love 'em. The drawings are fanciful and spooky without being too scary for little ones. My son loved the final page and said he'd love to read it again. The book gets 5 stars for that comment alone!

This book takes a VERY important topic - laying out an ownership agreement BEFORE any disputes arise - and makes it accessable to all of us non-lawyers. My business partner and I are working through this book and so far have found it easy to understand. The book provides all of the "legaleeze" you need to put your agreements into a binding buy-sell agreement (one that reflects YOUR choices for the agreement). Working through this has had a positive impact on my relationship with my business partner, because it increases trust in what the future will be like. I highly recommend this book to any business with more than one shareholder.

So good to see such a fine collection of inspiring and insightful stories in one book.
