BARGAIN BOOK: Martin the Christmas Mouse by Jane Whiteoak

Now available as a BARGAIN BOOK is Martin the Christmas Mouse by Jane Whiteoak  (Click here for UK Download).  Why not grab a copy now?





BOOK DESCRIPTION
Martin the Christmas Mouse is a heartwarming story for children, ages 4-8 years old. The book is filled with large beautiful illustrations, depicting the comings and goings of a very helpful little mouse.

Martin lives in a tiny house with his parents and younger sister, Maria. It is Christmas time and they’ve been decorating the inside of their tiny abode. Their little place is set inside a larger home, owned by Mr. Kingsley. This kind and gentle man has no idea that he shares his residence with the mice! Martin runs freely, throughout both places, helping his parents and always looking after Mr. Kingsley, who is forgetful and also cannot see as well as he used to. He often can’t remember where he'd left his glasses, how many slices of bread he’d put on his plate for lunch or where he’d placed his socks! Martin, is very happy to help the kind man. He, assists in tying up the laces on Mr. Kingsley's boots correctly, locates a lost Christmas tree ornament and fixes a bit of misplaced holly, on the stairs.

With the arrival of Mr. Kingsley's familyon Christmas Eve, they'd all started to prepare for the much anticipated visit from Santa Claus and his reindeer! The little mouse joined in with the celebrations, including the singing of Christmas Carols. When it was close to the midnight hour, he scurried back to his little home and tiny bed, not expecting any gifts at all. His mother had explained to him, that Santa Claus, only visits the children of the world. Christmas morning arrives and the whole mouse family is in for a huge surprise!

The moral to Martin’s story is that rewards are usually bestowed upon those who do good deeds for others, most often they arrive from an entirely unsuspected source.

BOOK DESCRIPTION
Parnell Stillman, ace pilot, is man to the bone in a lackadaisical kind of way. He has the ability to fly through anything except solid mountain. He lives alone because people are not to be trusted—especially women. Flying is his high road until one sleet-filled morning--it isn’t. Mischance forces his plane down in a frozen wilderness. He can survive, but his cargo is another matter--an annoying social worker and five orphans--the most irksome freight he’s ever hauled in his life. 

Rebecca Hollis is distraught. The orphans have missed their chance for parents. They can't miss Christmas, too. She determines to force the obnoxious, disagreeable, self-centered pilot to do whatever is necessary to insure the survival and rescue of the orphans by Christmas Eve… Even if it means making the noble gesture of keeping her mouth shut—or other womanly things.

BOOK OF THE DAY: A Christmas Carol 2 by Robert J. Elisberg

by Robert J. Elisberg





BOOK DESCRIPTION
A #1 best-seller on Amazon for Humor Parody.  "A Christmas Carol 2: The Return of Scrooge" is a continuation of the beloved Christmas tale, that quickly goes flying off in its own comic direction. It begins five years after dear old Ebenezer Scrooge has passed away and left his thriving firm to his former clerk, Bob Cratchit. However, Bob's overly-generous benevolence with lending and charity-giving has driven the company into the ground, on the verge of bankruptcy. And so the ghost of Scrooge returns one Christmas Eve to teach Cratchit the true meaning of money. Making the swirling journey through  Christmases past, present, and yet-to-be all the more of a chaotic ride for Cratchit are the dozens of characters from other Dickens novels woven throughout the story, together for the first time. God bless them, most everyone.

Revised by Robert J. Elisberg

REVIEWS
5.0 out of 5 stars BOB CRATCHIT IS A LUCKY MAN January 1, 2013
By ZQ
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Mr. Cratchit couldn't be in better hands having Mr. Elisberg documenting his post-Christmas Carol exploits.

My thumbnail review: I loved everything about it!

This book is incredibly well written, well beyond what I expected. The writing style is seriously good -- the dialogue and descriptions are as if Dickens himself wrote it, with the added bonus of weaving in the smart, witty and extremely funny Elisberg style (check out his blog on Huffington Post). Dare I say this, but I'm not sure I would have enjoyed this as much if the Charles D. himself had actually written it.

Even more important is the very clever story the author constructed. The premise alone is a slam dunk; weaving characters from Dickens' other books into the ghosts and giving them such full blown humor and personalities, is brilliant. Elisberg obviously knows his Dickens. The use of humorous footnotes to inform those of us who are less versed in Dickens' classics is truly inspired.
This story is is tailor made to become a great holiday film. Can't wait to see it!


5.0 out of 5 stars Christmas just got better January 12, 2013
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
As a lover of the original A Christmas Carol by Dickens, I was thrilled to find out that there was more! How lucky we are that Robert Elisberg found this unpublished manuscript, revised it, and published it. It was a joy to read and kept me in a Christmas mood for just a little longer this year. The wit and good natured fun with which the book was written

flows from Mr. Elisberg like no one else I have read in recent history. He is a brilliant writer and I can only hope more ensues. If I found out that he had written the weather report, I would be the first to read it, knowing that I would be well entertained. Bravo, Mr. Elisberg!

All Kat's done is wet her pants on a rollercoaster and earn herself the horrible nickname, "Kat McPee." When she doesn't get the part of Mary, Kat's convinced that Christmas will be just another Kat McPee failure.

But then Kat's beloved Gram lets it slip that she went to school with Mrs. Claus. The Mrs. Claus.

Rebecca has other ideas—lots of them! All artful and disingenuous—one of which is bound to work…she hopes.
