Timothy the Christmas Mouse is a wonderful children’s book for the holidays. The story is exciting and one that teaches how good things come to those who share with generosity. This book, as in all of Virginia Wright’s stories, has great messages for children as well as adults.

But even better than the wonderful story, are the amazing original illustrations by Virginia. I love how each one gives you a different feeling and perspective.

I recommend this book along with its companion, “Timothy the Christmas Mouse Coloring Book for Children” for your kids, grand-kids, nieces, nephews, or even just for yourself. Believe me, the illustration in this book could be framed and used for Christmas art to hang on your wall. They are that good.

This is simply a wonderful story! Timothy finds himself abandoned by his human family who moves away. While searching for food, he finds a large bucket of acorns. His first thought is to scurry home with his find. However, along the way he meets various other animals who are cold and hungry too. What a charming way to teach children about the true meaning of Christmas and the giving spirit!
