A Creature Was Stirring

Packed with humor and heart, author Heather Pierczynski and illustrator Skylar Hogan present a laugh-out-loud, refreshing, and irresistibly fun spin on a timeless holiday tale, exploring why exactly only the mouse is singled out in the famous first lines of The Night Before Christmas. 

'Twas the night before Christmas,

when all through the house,

not a creature was stirring, not even a—

MOUSE!

He had never heard of a mouse not stirring.

It was the most glorious night of the year!

So he stirred. Squeaked! Eeked!

Anything but sleep.
