The Mole and the Mound - by Will Hamilton-Davies (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

A hilarious book about Mole's quest to build an extraordinary home that turns out to be more important than he ever expects.

Scoop, wiggle-wiggle, went the mole...
working on his great, grand hole.

Mole is busy digging an underground house to share with his friends, though all Bird, Beaver, and Bee see is a muddy mound! Eager to out-build one another, they rush to make something better, too busy competing to notice what's right in front of them.

But when a storm breaks, they soon realize that there was more to Mole's home than they ever imagined.

A brilliantly funny story about empathy, kindness, and learning to look a little closer.

HILARIOUS READ-ALOUD: The bouncy rhyming text and funny story make for a perfect read aloud.

BUILDING COMMUNITY: Mole and his friends learn that helping each other in times of need not only provides support but creates a sense of belonging.

Perfect for:

• Parents and grandparents
• Preschool and kindergarten-level readers
• Gift-givers looking for a hilarious read-aloud with a heartwarming message
• Fans of Julia Donaldson and Matthew Forsythe's Mina
