Win up to 3 copies of Mouse and Mole: 12 Days of Christmas by Joyce Dunbar, illustrated by James Mayhew

For Children

Christmas is over, but Mouse and Mole have an unexpected visitor – Shrew! She helps herself to Mole’s creature comforts, much to his displeasure. When she takes over his favourite armchair, Mole gets into a huff and heads out into the cold, with only a Snowmole for company.

Thus begins a strange adventure involving a giant walrus, five baby shrews doing the conga, and a very happy Mole returning to the warmth of home.

Mouse and Mole: Twelve Days of Christmas is a festive novella in 12 chapters, designed to bridge the gap between early readers and confident readers, allowing fans of Mouse and Mole to grow with the books.

Perfect for:
• Early readers aged 5–7
• Fans of charming animal adventures and festive stories
• Children enjoying humour, imagination, and quirky characters
• Readers exploring friendship, sharing, and problem-solving
• Holiday reading, classroom activities, and family storytime
