“A stylish, humorous picture book about the friendship between a polar bear and a mouse with different ideas about decorating the Christmas tree. In the end, togetherness is all.” The Times, by Nicolette Jones and Alex O’Connell
A fantastically funny festive story about the Bear and Mouse who ALWAYS disagree from the award-winning Ross Collins, creator of the bestselling There's a Bear on My Chair.
Bear and Mouse have finally overcome their differences and are living together in perfect harmony . . . until it's time to decorate the Christmas tree! Bear wants dazzling lights, while Mouse prefers gigantic baubles . . . and, wait a minute, did Mouse just put a MANATEE on the top?! A topsy-turvy tree is definitely THE LAST STRAW and it looks as if Christmas is RUINED. But maybe, just maybe, Bear and Mouse can reach a compromise in time . . . ?
這本書《熊與鼠的聖誕樹》被《泰晤士報》選為2022年最佳兒童書籍之一，並且由獲獎作家羅斯·柯林斯（Ross Collins）創作，他也曾寫過暢銷書《椅子上的熊》。
故事圍繞熊與鼠兩位性格迥異的朋友，雖然他們在很多事情上總是意見不合，但最終卻在聖誕節的裝飾過程中碰撞出精彩的火花。熊喜歡耀眼的燈光，而鼠則偏愛超大的聖誕球……等一下，鼠怎麼會把一隻海牛放在樹頂上？！這顯然是讓他們的聖誕節徹底搞砸了。
然而，儘管樹變得亂七八糟，熊和鼠也許還是能找到一個妥協點，重新找回他們的友誼和聖誕的快樂。
這本書用幽默的語言和風格化的插圖，探討了在節日中，儘管有著不同的想法和意見，最終的和諧與友誼才是最重要的。這本書充滿了溫暖的訊息，並且非常適合家庭閱讀，尤其是在聖誕季節，能帶來許多笑聲和反思。
