Holiday Book Countdown, Day 15: MERRY MITTENS: A MOONTIME CATS CHRISTMAS STORY (Jordan Morris, illus. by Charlie Mylie)

During “moontime” (aka nighttime), feline brothers Carl, Biscuit, and Peewee are delighted to find that their neighborhood is glowing a little brighter than usual this time of year. The troublesome trio uses the lights of holiday decorations to guide their playful mischief-making, from frolicking in the snow to tracking down some purloined presents. But there’s a mysterious newcomer trailing their snowprints… is a foe, or possible new pal?

Fans of felines will love this adorable tale, in which the holidays are mostly a backdrop for some cozy, kittenish antics (and a gorgeously illustrated one at that!). Thanks so much to Candlewick for sending us a copy!
