A heartwarming story. Perfect early chapter book.

Mole and Shrew are Two is an exceptionally adorable little book. Shrew is rather clever and a little bit wary that Mole might be a problem of a neighbor for her. Mole is not as bright but is a complete and utter sweetheart. What starts as an inconvenience turns into a friendship and blossoms into this beautiful book. I highly recommend this for anyone of the suggested reading age, but it's also delightful to read as an adult. I may need to find more copies and send them to everyone I know with children.

A delightful little children's first chapter book. I chuckled at Mole a lot and will be looking for more books in this series to read with my kids.

LFL find. Very cute. I love the wordplay humor. I love that the book can appeal to families reading aloud to the younger ones, all the way up to age 9 or so. I'll look for more by the author.
