Mickey in A Night Before Christmas? Adorable. It also has cameos from some of Mickey's friends.

[Chinook · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was surprisingly fun. It incorporates some of the lines from the traditional poem and the rest are its own lines, but in the style of the poem.

I have a lot of questions about this book.

Synopsis: The classic Christmas poem has been changed up to include favorite Mickey Mouse characters.

My Review: This book was a huge hit! Even though it is a little long the familiar characters and events through out and the rhythm and rhyme of the story really captured Munchkin's attention. This was the longest he has sat still and paid attention to any one thing, he just put his head on my shoulder the whole time reading the book. I think with a few more times of reading it (and me not stumbling over the words a few times) it will definitely become one of our top holiday books.

My 2 year old daughter's favorite book. She can't read yet, but she has every single word memorized.

i think the author did a great job with the cadence. it's a bit annoying after the 100th time through for adults, but my toddler still loves it and i don't mind reading it.

[KaitandMaddie · Rating 4 out of 5]

It mentions all the classic characters, though the story is sort of meh.

[KaitandMaddie · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was quite fun, and a nice contrast to the older poem.
