Mice Skating

this mouse doesn’t want to stay in the house . . . even if it’s cold outside!

for most field mice, winter means burrowing down and snuggling in. but not for lucy! she loves snow crunching under her paws and wearing a fluffy wool hat. and most of all, lucy loves to skate, and she’s just aching to show off her new skill with her friends. after all, a winter wonderland is twice as nice when you have friends to enjoy it with. but the other mice just don’t understand—and after a disastrous indoor snowball fight, it looks as if they never will. can lucy find a way to make the other mice come out and “mice skate” too?

            with intricately detailed illustrations as cozy as a fireplace in december (and a cup of cocoa, too), this funny punny warmhearted love song to winter—and to one brave, bold, and generous mouse—will have kids bundling up for some cold-weather fun of their own.
