But when a slice of pizza is snatched away by a crow and ants, their adventure takes a twist. Will their perseverance lead them to a garden of delights, or will they remain hungry?

From the publisher

From the creator of the beloved Mole Sisters comes an irresistible tale about two ravenous rodents, wanted for snacking on too many strawberries, daisies, tulips, and other vegetation. And after these rodents chomp and chew all the plants they can find around their home – a drainpipe in an urban alley – they’re still hungry! So hungry, in fact, they could even eat a cat! Using an imaginative paper bag disguise and a natural talent for tunneling, this mischievous pair sets off in pursuit of a feline-sized feast – and finds a slice of pepperoni pizza. But the vagrant voles are left empty-handed – and empty-tummied – when a greedy crow and an army of ants invade their picnic. Chock full of silly antics and suspense, young children will root for these insatiable characters as they continue on their quest for food. And readers will celebrate along with them when the Vole Brothers’ perseverance pays off when they are tossed into a garden full of luscious strawberries – a very happy ending if you’re a hungry vole!
