Adorable and surprising!
Format: Hardcover
The artwork in this book is simply adorable. The cute little animals. The fun tunnels to follow. The subtle textures added to the art (look at the sheet music in the tunnels!) And all of the titles of the books each animal has. Kids (and adults) will love looking over all of the details.
And my favorite, and surprising bit, is that Mole (and a new friend) are allowed to remain introverted. They're not forced to change at the end into a situation they're not comfortable with. I think this is an amazing ending and one that you wouldn't see in many other books dealing with this situation.
What a wonderful book!

A shy mole is both true to his friend and true to himself.
Format: Hardcover
Mole makes cream puffs and braves a long underground trip to his friend Rabbit's noisy party. Noisy parties are not for Mole so he gives Rabbit the gift and is on his way. But all is not lost. Another guest, hidden behind a lovely bouquet, is of the same mindset and the presence of these two loyal but shy friends does not seem to be a complete accident. Mole's honest monologue is endearing and the above and below ground scenery of the animal community is sweet.
