Christmas Mouse Goes to the Movies ~ a Literary Tradition

Book Cover - Take a House to the MoviesTuesday my daughter and I arrived home on Tuesday to find that the Christmas Mouse had delivered another literary gift in our absence. This time it was the book If You Take a Mouse to the Movies by Laurie Joffe Numeroff. Inside the covers of the book we found an envelope with a with a note to take him to the movies, tickets for the entire family, and a gift certificate for popcorn and drinks.

We quickly ate and then left for the theater. We arrived just in time to view the Disney movie Enchanted. We even had the entire theater to ourselves. I guess everyone else was out shopping.

Six year old McKayla fed the mouse popcorn, made sure he could see the screen and had a fantastic time. She was so thrilled to take the mouse to the movie that I am sure this will now be an annual tradition at our house.
