A MouseKeeper Christmas Jenny Deason Copeland

It is a little known fact that the North Pole elves all have at least one pet mouse. The mice originally were used to test the toys but now they seem to break more than help. Santa has another problem. The toy factory was barely able to produce enough for last Christmas and the Naughty lists are drying up. That is why the elves are having trouble making enough toys. More and more children are ending up on the Nice list each year. To help solve his problem Santa asks the children to make suggestions in a contest. The heroine, a six year old brainiac wins the competition with her idea to send the mice on a vacation. See how she solves Santa's problem using data. The details of her solution make the MouseKeeper Christmas traditions ones that families will use to help fill the anticipatory time from Thanksgiving Eve until Christmas Eve each holiday. The traditions include playing hide and seek with the mice at least once every day. The four MouseKeeping rules are easy to remember. But only children on the Nice list can be MouseKeepers.
