Little Mole is going to school for the first time. He is very nervous because he doesn't see or hear well. He goes to school and finds that other animals have special talents that he wished he had. Will Mole discover that he has special talents too? 

I feel that "Little Mole Goes to School" would be an excellent one to read at the beginning of the school year to younger grades. I think it could bring up good conversations about how everyone has special talents and that starting a new school year can be scary. It even has tips for parents in the back about helping their child feel more comfortable about starting school. The pictures are adorable and engaging.
