Synopsis

Enter the world of the Condylura cristata, the little-known star-nosed mole. The only mole that thrives in both earth and water, this animal lives in the wetlands of the American Midwest and southeast Canada. In this beautiful picture book, young readers get a mole’s-eye view of marsh life, following one star-nosed mole on an expedition through a dark tunnel deep underground and out into a sparkling pond. “This lyrical, read-aloud romance will endear Mole and his underworld to children.”--Publishers Weekly

About this title

From the Author:

From the artist, Laura Regan: I did a lot of research before I started the paintings for this book because I needed to learn about a little creature that I had never heard of before! Every time I work on a new book, it's like a whole new adventure! I illustrated this book with a combination of oil and gouache allowing me to use soft backgrounds with a lot of small detail work in the foreground. Because all of the books that I have illustrated focus on the environment, I feel that they are a wonderful way to help to teach young readers about our beautiful but fragile planet. I'd love it if you came to visit me at my Laura Regan website where you can learn more about my work. If you are interested, you can also arrange for a school visit.
