Marcus Pfister is the author of the phenomenally successful Rainbow Fish series, as well as many other books for children. He has worked as a graphic artist, a sculptor, a painter, and a photographer as well as a children's book creator. Pfister lives with his family in Berne, Switzerland.
Kindergarten-Grade 2–Two young mole brothers are sitting in a field arguing about what to play. They can't agree on whether to make a hill or a hole and, before long, they are arguing and wrestling on the ground. Tim stomps off and begins to dig a hole. Matt starts building a hill. Both moles come to realize that the work is lonely and hard, and their anger slowly fades away. When they peek at the other's project, they discover that digging a hole creates a hill. They laugh and decide to work together. The warm, earth-toned illustrations with touches of bright flora and fauna have child appeal. The moles have humanlike hands and feet (with sharp, talonlike nails) and walk upright; one of them wears spectacles. While this story of brotherly cooperation isn't stellar, it is suitable for larger collections, for one-on-one sharing.–DeAnn Okamura, San Anselmo Public Library, CA
