A Merry-Mouse Book of Months
A Merry-Mouse Christmas ABC
With their sloppy verses and twee pictures of mice in frilly garb these remind me of nothing so much as a third rate series of children's birthday/Christmas cards stuck between two covers to make books. They may well appeal to sentimental grannies and aunts but not to self-respecting children.
I certainly would not advise anyone to spend £3.90 on those two.
