Book Review The Story of the Little Mole Who Knew it Was None of His Business

The Story of the Little Mole Who Knew it Was None of His Business by Werner Holzwarth and Wolf Erlbruch

I'd never heard of this book until my Ds picked it up in WHSmiths yesterday & started chuckling very loudly !!

It was a favourite in his class last year .. Yr3



The story is about a little mole who discovers someone very rudely leaves their 'business on his head - what follows is a Mole 'chatting to neighbouring animals to identify the owner.

A little controversial maybe, but a great way to explore what can be a hard to approach area ..

BLURB:

Packed full of poos that plop, drop, splish, splosh and pop off the page!

A terrible catastophe befalls the little mole one bright, sunny morning.

It looks like a sausage, and the worst thing is that it lands right on his head.

Our plucky little hero sets out to find who has left their business on his head.

His highly entertaining and informatiove search reveals an important but often neglected side of life.

I have a copy of this at home, both my children love it!

I took my son to see a production of it a few years ago, very good it was too!
