The Mouse in the Hammock, a Halloween Tale is the third book in the series. Each book from the series teaches a Christian lesson based on biblical principles. The Author, Bethany Brevard, isn't a theologian or a biblical expert. She's just a mom who felt like the holiness of the holidays was slowly being stripped away and if a little mouse could help to bring Christ back into Christmas, then surely, she could bring Christ back into Easter (forgiveness) and even the not so holy holidays of Valentine's (love), Thanksgiving (gratitude) and even Halloween (light in the darkness)!
