Mortimer Mouse is tired of his chilly, cramped hole in the wall. One frosty evening, he scurries out in search of a new home — and discovers a cozy little manger that seems just right. There’s soft hay, tiny people who never move, and even a baby mouse-sized bed! But when Mortimer overhears the story of the very first Christmas, he realizes the figures he’s moved aside aren’t toys at all — they’re Mary, Joseph, and the baby Jesus.
In a touching act of kindness, Mortimer puts everything back and whispers a tiny prayer for a home of his own. And just when it seems his wish may never come true… a Christmas miracle happens.
With Karma Wilson’s gentle storytelling and Jane Chapman’s warm, luminous illustrations, Mortimer’s Christmas Manger captures the wonder of Christmas through the eyes of a small mouse with a big heart. A perfect read-aloud for cozy holiday nights.
