ay and when the other kittens saw him...they all ran away. Mistletoe had given up hope of ever having a home, but when he finds three little lost kittens his unselfish acts of kindness and a surprise gift from Santa change all that. "The Legend of Mistletoe and the Christmas Kittens" is written by Joe Troiano, author of the perennial fall-favorite book "The Legend of Spookley the Square Pumpkin," and is the inspiration for the animated hit "Spookley and the Christmas Kittens" as seen on Disney Junior and Netflix.
