What a Treasure indeed!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This book is destined to be a classic with inviting rhythm, magnetic repetition, and a giving spirit. Determined to find a treasure, Mole unearths objects and graciously offers each to a nearby friend who is in need. Happy to continue digging for something he may or may not keep himself, Mole discovers a companion with whom he has much in common. Themes of friendship and generosity abound with subtle reminders of what our world might be like if we shared our resources with one another. Whimsical illustrations delicately complement the sweet, simple structures of language throughout the story that Jane and Will Hillenbrand have kindly offered as a treasure to their readers.
Fantastic, Delightful Story about the Joy of Friendship!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Jane Hillenbrand's story about a mole looking for treasure is certain to delight children of every age. This book is designed for young readers and will appeal to them because of the rhythmic language and beautiful illustrations by children's artist, Will Hillenbrand. For children of all ages, it is an excellent writing prompt with a theme of great importance to every child, the search for friendship. The "treasures" that Mole finds while digging include a twig that is exactly what a bird needs for its nest, a shell that a snail can use for its house, and an acorn that squirrel can eat for dinner. Finally, Mole finds a special treasure for himself, another mole to be his new friend.
