One Winter Night

It’s bone-chillingly cold, but why should that stop ten little mice who decide to leave their cozy nest and take a moonlight stroll across the ice? Of course, they hadn’t counted on some big, scary creatures — an owl, a bat, a rat, a skunk — who are also out for the evening. One by one, the mice run back to the house until the last one finds itself far down the ice. What will happen next? Will all ten make it back home? This enchanting wintertime counting book uses a repeated refrain — “Hurry, hurry! Scurry, scurry!” — and vibrant illustrations to create an ideal holiday read-aloud.
