This easy-reader entry... tells the story of a frosty, magical night in the forest that gives Cat a new reverence for all babies, regardless of their species. Hungry and shivering, Cat has been left outdoors by her owners on Christmas Eve. A fortuitous encounter with a naive young mouse means dinner, but... Cat experiences a quick reversal of fortunes when she becomes a prospective meal for grouchy Bear.... Hearn’s plentiful full-color illustrations vividly portray the action and tenderness of the tale in a realistic style. A unique—even surprising—holiday story that locates the real spirit of Christmas.
