sometimes thoughtless and often gets into trouble.
The story takes place on
Christmas Eve and Milly Mouse and her older brother Timmy are getting
ready for Christmas, but Timmy declares that he no longer believes in Santa.
Once they are asleep Santa and Elvin visit their bedroom when Elvin falls over
with a bang and wakes Timmy up. When
Timmy sees Santa and Elvin he is unsure whether he is dreaming or not.

words which young children might not understand.

other page, ideal for youngsters to become absorbed in whilst the story is

of the story to handle. Additionally, the wipe-clean front and back covers are
an extra bonus, ideal for parents reading it to children with sticky fingers.
