Bookroo's summary

Mole's morning is off to a rough start with holes in all his clothes. His friend Mouse takes him shopping, where Mole faces the challenge of embracing new styles. Will Mole adapt to change, or will his reluctance prevail? In this charming tale, discover how friendship can turn a grumpy day into an adventure, and see if Mole can find joy in the unexpected.

From the publisher

Mole is having a very bad morning. His pants have holes in them. So do his shirts. What could be the cause of all these holes? Turns out, moths make holes in clothes, and that makes Mole very grumpy. So Mouse does what a good friend should do and takes Mole on a trip to the store. There, Mole realizes all of his clothes are OLD. And what’s NEW is in. What is a reluctant-to-change Mole going to do? The latest adventure of Mouse and Mole shows that sometimes it’s fun to try something new . . . and sometimes it isn’t. But friendship helps make each brand-new day one to look forward to!
