Crumbling cheese treats! It was Halloween, the spookiest day of the year, and my nephew Benjamin had dragged me to a graveyard to do research for my newest book. There I met Creepella von Cacklefur, a very spooky mouse who - yikes! - tried to lock me up in her coffin! Oh, how would a 'fraidy mouse like me ever survive?I was so excited about Christmas, I could hardly squeak! My nephew Benjamin and I were going to trim the tree and eat lots of delicious Christmas Cheesy Chews. But before you could say "cat alert", disaster struck. I tripped over my tail and ended up in the hospital. And then my mouse hole caught on fire! Holey cheese, this was turning out to be the worst Christmas ever....
