About this title

Synopsis

What's a Mole to do?

Once there was a Mole who lived with his Grandmother Mole in a hole in the forest, and most of the time they get on well enough . . .

But see what happens when Mole loses his glasses, doesn't zip his jacket, shouts, and keeps asking why. What is a Grandmother Mole to do except love him and kiss him on his nose?

Four winning stories combined with Sergio Ruzzier's simple, hilarious illustrations convey the tender bond between a grandmother and her grandson.
