The Mole and the Hole by Brayden Kowalczuk - NO

The Mole and the Hole by Brayden Kowalczuk
. PICTURE BOOK. Quarto, 2021. $18. 9780711262645

BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K, EL (K-3) - NOT RECOMMENDED

AUDIENCE APPEAL: LOW

Mole just wants to be able to go in his hole and dig and then come back out to enjoy the day and do his business. The rocks, however, don’t want him above ground and will do their best to make sure he remains underground.

I don’t know if the rocks are the bad neighbors or that mole is – none of them seem like people I want to hang out with – the rocks are mean and mole is clueless. It may show what a bad neighbor is, but it doesn’t show what a good neighbor is. It feels like several pages are missing. I have to admit, kids will enjoy seeing Mole do his “business”.
