About this ebook
This fun children's book is about a rather finicky little mouse lives is a tree in the country. His life is full of dinner parties and celebrations. However, his world is shattered when the tree he’s living in is chopped down and taken to a home in the city. Not only does the little mouse find himself dragged into this strange environment but the family who now own his tree are rude and quite lazy.
He is appalled to see how poorly they decorate their tree and wrap their presents. "This will not do!" exclaims the litte mouse as he goes about rearranging and putting things right.
When Santa finally arrives the little mouse is the only one who knows how to help him and save Christmas.

Susan is an author, canine behaviourist, and a storyteller. She lives with her family and dogs, in particular, Rocky the Border collie and Stella, the blind dog. She spends her time blogging, writing and illustrating; training and counselling dogs and being bossed around by the family cat, Speed Bump Charlie and his sidekick, Furball (see Dogs in Space). Susan travelled around the world twice before she was seven years old. It seemed only fitting that the wonderful events she experienced and the places she visited on these journeys be recorded for history. Thus, her story telling skills began. Firstly, to Rupert Bear, her lifelong companion, and then to a host of imaginary friends and finally to her pet dog once the family finally set down roots in Australia. Susan is passionate about children's literature and wants to inspire children to be better people and encourage them to follow their dreams. She runs workshops for children teaching them how to form the wonders of their imaginations into stories. Susan lives in a small country town where there are more kangaroos than people. She shares her country property with four dogs, three cats, three rescue guinea pigs and a very large fish and her patient husband. More about her adventures are reflected in Clarence the Snake from Dunolly.

The Christmas Mouse
Little Mouse lived in a tree in the country
It was a beautiful pine tree, tall and strong. It had lush thick branches that stretched and stretched way up into the sky. The branches provided a shelter from the snow and the rain in winter and the hot sun in summer.
Little Mouse loved his tree. He invited neighbouring animals and his mousy relatives to see it. He took them on tours of the magnificent tree showing them how straight and long each branch was and how tall the tree was.
Most evenings he would hold extravagant dinner parties and cocktail hours. He invited all the creatures from the woods. The rabbits, the foxes, the possums and the kangaroos – all came together to enjoy the wonderful hospitality of Little Mouse.
During the day, Little Mouse cleaned and dusted his tree. He would knock down spider webs and evict the spider on the spot. If he found any bug, it would be ordered out straight away. This kept him very busy because it was a very big tree!
