About this book
Scoop, wiggle wiggle, went the mole.
Working on his great grand hole.
The mole is digging hard. But Bird, Beaver and Bee aren't impressed. They have built excellent homes too - a nest, a lodge and a hive. Until a storm comes along... Should they take up Mole's kind offer of a shelter in the mound?
This is a warm hug of a story. Mole is not only hardworking and diligent but kind and generous. His gorgeous home - stylishly illustrated by Kasia Fryza - shows the other animals that they mustn't judge by appearances.
The text is rhythmic and rhyming, making it a delight to read aloud. Charming!
