Mole loves her burrow near the pond.It's safe and cozy underground, and best of all--it's home.So when Fox says Mole has to move her home to make room for a new path, she must do some quick thinking--and digging--to save it.'Ehlert's collages, inspired by the Woodland Indians' traditional arts of ribbon applique and beadwork, are bold; graphically striking; and rich in form, shape, and color.Perfect for young children, this is an admirable marriage of text and art.'--School Library Journal

Industry Reviews

The gorgeous graphics of this oversize book are insufficiently supported by a plot that's nearly overwhelmed by its muddled subtext. Fox lays down the law: He, Skunk, and Raccoon are planning a path to the pond, and Mole and her hump of dirt will have to be moved by fall. Instead, the little digger makes a mountain of her molehill, planting flowers on it; and the other animals are so impressed that they invite Mole to help with their path by tunneling through instead of removing it. As always, Ehlert's vibrant designs are striking, but sloppy details abound in the book's logic - e.g., one month's phases of the moon are represented on a spread noting that "Many moons passed," and the flowers are still in full bloom after the leaves have turned. Mole's assertive yet peaceable outflanking of her oppressors is fine; but it's a shame that the means are so over-contrived. (Kirkus Reviews)
