A Favorite!

This has been a longstanding favorite with my 2 youngest granddaughters who want to listen to it every time they visit. A pleasant story of 2 neighbors who overcome their differences with tolerance & thoughtfulness. A timeless treasure that teaches while it entertains.

Great book to teach friendship

This is the first book we read from this writer. We are going to read more of course. Mouse and Mole are so different, but with respect and efforts, they become good friends. The first story; Clean and Tidy, is our favorite because Mouse and Mole resolved a conflict by working together. Through the story, readers learn to respect others and come up with creative solutions to resolve a problem. What a wonderful message send to young readers! The other three stories are great too. The writer is excellent in using the characters to tell what great friends will do; be considerate, caring and respectful. Hope there are more books like that.
