Father Christmas is depressed, but mouse is on the case and before long he rediscovers the pleasure of giving and sets off to do what he usually does on Christmas Eve. Again, the true meaning of gifts is explored in an accomplished story, complemented by matching artwork from a new illustrator. Sonia Benster, The Bookseller Conveys the need to share perfectly... Good moral behind the activities of the selfish mouse who then gave gifts!
