Ωραία η εικονογράφηση, αλλά το κείμενο "χάνει". Μηδαμινό ενδιαφέρον από τους πεντάχρονους μαθητές μου.

Digger just wants to share the cabbage patch, but Lew doesn’t want to! And to add insult to injury, Lew makes fun of Digger’s legs. So Digger and Mrs. Digger (Shouldn’t it be Mr. Digger and Mrs. Digger? Or we could give Mrs. Digger her own name?) hatch a plan to trick Lew into thinking moles run faster than hares. It works and Lew agrees to share the cabbage patch and admits that moles have better legs.

In the back of the book is a section of suggested ways to interact with the book with children, which I thought was a good resource. The story is cute, although I don’t think that just because Lew was mean he deserved to be tricked. The least the Diggers could do was tell him after the fact.

Although the intentions behind this story was a good one, I did not approve of the meaning it brought across to young readers-listeners. Although at the back of the book is a section of 'notes to teachers and parents' to discuss the issues within the book. But many children will pick this story up and read on their own without having that adult interaction to explain.

This story a mole and a rabbit argue over who's garden it was. So they decided to have a race and the rabbit KNEW he was going to win. But the mole tag teamed up with his 'darling' under the ground so she went to the end of the garden and he stayed at the beginning and every time the rabbit would get to the destination one of the would pop up being the 'winner' all along the rabbit thinking that it was mole. Rabbit never figured out that he was being cheated and gave in to sharing the garden with the mole(s). Sharing was good, but the cheating to get to be the winner wasn't... and in my opinion not a good example to teach children. Children should know that cheating isn't right for themselves and for others within their lives. This story leaves it open to make children know it's alright to cheat to get what you want.

This is a surprise favorite. The four stars are my daugter's rating. She is three. She likes how the little moles keep saying "Beat you!". The illustrations are lovely, reminiscent of the Little Quack Books. I myself didn't love it be she sure does!

Väga hea on raamatu viimasel leheküljel olev teemapüstituste/küsimuste rubriik, mille alusel saab lapsega edasist vestlust ja jutu analüüsi teostada. Väärt mõte!
