BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ESSENTIAL
APPEALS TO: MANY
Goat is ready to play a game, but when Mole suggests Tiddlywinks, Goat suggests Whack a Moley, which begins a hilarious back and forth between the two friends. Goat thinks this is very funny until Mole turns the table and makes Goat the object of the game.
Whack a Moley is packed with rhymes and plays-on-words. The humor of the word play is delightful, as is the stealthy moral of treating others as we would like to be treated ourselves. The illustrations are bright and add visual whimsy to the dialogue.
