Mouse's First Christmas

So, I wanted to know who Minka was (from [b:Mouse's First Fall 1470671 Mouse's First Fall Lauren Thompson https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1348832908l/1470671.SX50.jpg 1461629] ) but she was not in this book. I love the illustrations in this one, absolutely lovely, rich, dark colors. It's the night before Christmas and the house is all quiet except for one little Mouse, who investigates the quiet house. Now... this is why this book got only three stars from me. The Mouse finds different things in the house. Like a cup of cocoa on the kitchen table. And it's still “warm and melty”. Huh? And what would you say is “white and floaty”? I'm 100% certain that you'll never guess. It's a snow globe. Well, finally the mouse finds Santa and Santa gives him a gift. Merry Christmas!
