More stories about an inquisitive mole and his patient grandmother
Once there was a Mole who lived with his Grandmother Mole in a hole in the forest, and most of the time they got on well enough. But then there was the time Mole wouldn't share with Little Gopher, the time Mole ate all the chocolate chip cookies, the time Mole walked off with the whole bag of pretzels, and the time when Mole wouldn't let Grandmother Mole have a nice talk on the telephone.
In four engaging encounters, with detailed line-and-watercolor pictures, Little Mole does the things little moles will always do and grandmothers will forever try to stop them from doing.
