About the Author
Ethel Pochocki is the mother of eight, and foster parent to seven cats. The author of many children's books, including The Gazebo, Maine Marmalade, Rosebud and Red Flannel, Wildflower Tea, A Penny for a Hundred, and The Mistletoe Girl and Other Christmas Stories, she makes her home in Brooks, Maine.
From School Library Journal
Grade 1-4-In beautifully written prose, Pochocki relates the story of an elderly man who is content with his life, but still rather lonely. His occupation and his appearance set him apart from others in his town, for he works in the dark in a mushroom factory and, with his oversized head and pale white skin, even resembles the fungi with which he toils. He decides that a pet might be a friend and accept him as he is, and takes in a beautiful stray cat. But the animal, a born wanderer, leaves him. Finally he cautiously befriends just the right animal for him, a mole. Pochocki shows their developing friendship as they share truffles and Christmas gifts, both concluding that the very best gift is having a friend. This is a sweet, quiet story with a special message. Like the Mushroom man himself, it may not appeal to young children at first glance, but introducing them to it will be well worth the effort. Moser's realistic pictures are dark with just a glimmer of light. They reinforce the quiet, emotive quality of the narrative and are a fine accompaniment to the story.
