<b>Mole's friends don't think much of his mound - until a storm destroys their own homes, and they realise it's the perfect shelter. Sometimes, the best treasures are right beneath our feet!</b><br> <br> <br> <br> <i>Scoop, wiggle-wiggle, went the mole.<br> <br> Working on his great, grand hole.</i><br> <br> <br> <br> Mole is on a mission to build an extraordinary shelter for him and his friends. Bird, Beaver, and Bee are jealous - they find it insulting that anyone would choose to write a story about Mole's mound, especially when they could be writing about Bird's impressive nest, Beaver's incredible lodge, or Bee's intricate hive.<br> <br> <br> <br> One by one, they rush to impress the audience with their own creations, failing to notice a storm that is on its way. When it finally arrives, Bird, Beaver, and Bee's houses are destroyed, and they are forced to seek shelter inside Mole's mound! It becomes clear that this seemingly ordinary mound is much more extraordinary on the inside.<br> <br> <br> <br> A brilliantly funny picture book with showcasing the importance of humility and the value of empathy.
